Hi Peter,
yes, this is a cine lens and I want to use it only for astrophotography (skyscapes). I can set it to any mode including Av but the "F" warning stays and the whole camera is dysfunctional. When I push the trigger nothing happens.

Thank you very much for your answer. But the 10mm Cine Lens has no "A" setting. All my other manual lenses have it and work fine with the aperture ring set to "A".
Please, where do I allow aperture ring function?

Hello, maybe someone can help me on this one. I own a Pentax K3 Mark III and have been loaned a Samyang 10 mm T3.1 ED AS NCS CS II manual lens that I may want to buy - if it performs well and works at all.
Because here's the problem I'm having: with the lens mounted, the camera doesn't show an aperture value, but a flashing "F" and an exclamation point.
Is the lens not compatible or is there an error (operator error or lens malfunction)?
Thanks for your help
Pete

No bird recycling here. You throw bottles in and it blows birds out as you can see :D That is why the whole coast is full of them.

This whale is a deposit for recycling bottles on the beach of Calais/France. Part of the magic is that it blows birds ;-)

Hi Jetze,
The differences are a new better workflow and a higher position on the never ending learning curve. In the past my skills in holding the noise down without affecting the faint Signal and detail too much were not so good. I learned a bit in the past two years.
Glad you like it!
All the best
Pete

So I did my best to reprocess the old data with new sotware and more "experience". The stars are more and the field is deeper. But I am not sure if the DSOs are really better now.:confused:

Hi Andrew, if you say it would be of interest for others I could search for the old data and give it another try. It really might be that APP plus starnet++ and two years more of spent living time in front of the computer might give better results....:)

Hallo Loyd,
maybe we have a misunderstanding because I am not a native speaker ans misinterpreted you initial question "How did you keep your image out of the reflective spheres?" and I have choosen the wrong English words.
I thought you meant that you miss the reflection in the spheres like they would be seen e. g. when you take a photo of christmas tree balls. These are reflective and it is not avoidable that the imaging camera is visible in the balls like in a mirror.
Here we have an image of tiny water drops clinging to a spiders web. The are not reflective but transparent and show the landscape behind the web. The drops are refractive and behave like extreme wide angle lenses.
Cheers
Pete

The waterdrops are not reflective but refractive. They work like microlenses and show the scene in front of the camera like a wide angle lens.
