Very very nice long exposure mattb!

Why is anyone so crazy about having the SMC version? I even think that these stars from light sources are sometimes distracting! I do habe the HD Version and really like it.

Thanks!
I love my SMC 15 but I'm sure I'd be pretty happy with a HD as well. The starbursts can be controlled so it's nice to have the option to add sparkles when I want to and it's kind of unique how defined you can get them.
But that is just an icing on the cake kind of thing, and some would probably consider it a flaw.

If I had to replace mine I'd want another SMC but if I could only get HD that would be ok too.

Thanks for the replies and info everyone. Been busy so I wasn't able to respond to each as I'd have liked. Anyway, my detach date got moved on me so I jumped and ordered the 15 from Adorama yesterday and it got here today (one benefit of being stationed in New York). Anyway, I'm looking forward to using it on my road trip and hopefully I'll have some good shots to post for y'all when I get to California (home) and Washington (station).

Thank you Vincent! Your kind words are much appreciated.

I almost didn't go out yesterday because of the rain. Glad I did.
