perhaps I should be more interested in investing in a 43Limited...

I love my 43. I take it any time I am not in an experimental mood for normal range lens--always dependable and high percentage of keepers.

Just going back through older shots and using different Post processing tools. Here is one from November with my manual Sigma Mini-Wide II 28mm at 10s, f/3.2, ISO 800, standard DXO profile to bring out the faint stars, then small crop.

Yeah, popular nature spot in Central Florida. Lots of tourist action around there.
