John,

But you asked about filters. The coating on today’s lenses is very s…[Read more] -

Thanks for an excellent set of explanations.
I did not realize the differences of a Noctivid before.
Head up on your caption you state the Noctivid was on the left, and it is in the left hand, but not the viewer’s left. I think you need to recaption it. -

Now we will be ready for 2024. A fellow photographer predicted that by 20124 the DR of sensors will allow for a single shot to be able to pull out the range we need.

Good work.
This was my first time seeing a total solar eclipse here in Missouri. My conclusions are that a partial photographs just like is looks, because you must shoot though a dark filter and then the sky is black. But in total the photos do not easily show what the eye observes. Where I was, the sky in total was never black, but dark blue,…[Read more] -

My review of all the reviews suggests this iteration of the M is getting universal acclaim.
My favorite part is that it is available now, not in 12 months. I like the ISO dial. All these little changes appear to really add to the appeal.
