Mirrorless Camera Milky Way

Take pic of the Milky Way and see what happens !!!!

Shooting the Milky Way with light pollution made possible!

I used this lens for photographing the Milky Way on a Sony a6000. Stopped down to f/2.0 this lens has minute coma and excellent quality. The output is very clear and I have been able to get my most detailed photos of the stars with this lens. This lens is compatible with both APS-C and full size sensors on the Sony E-Mount system which is great for future upgrades. For a small mirrorless camera this lens can be quite large and a little heavy. A strong tripod with a good mounting system is required to keep the camera from tipping forward. The medium format (for APS-C sensors) makes this lens great for night panoramas and photo stitching. Overall this is a great lens that I will be using for a long time.

I wanted a zoom lens that started pretty wide to use on my XPro 2 and be light and small in keeping with the smallish camera that I was going to use it on . Also I did not have a lot of money to spend on it . I took a chance on the order and immediately had the opportunity to use it on the Milky Way , which was my main reason for wanting as wide an angle as I could get within my budget. I was very happy with my first attempt ever at photographing the the Milky Way . This lens made it easy for a beginner . And oh by the way my regular photos are pretty amazing for a Kit lens too . I have 3 primes for my Fuji X put I can picture this lens on my camera the most .

Currently doing Milky Way captures but that 30 wall and in bulb mode to have to look at a watch and the light goes off or having to watch your phone app and the screen goes dark 35 sec in. There was no remote shutter for a Sony and using the SEL1018 @12mm well a 600 rule gives you 50 500 41 and 450 37. ShutterBoss is the BOSS that takes you beyond the 30 wall for Sony Camera's. Yes there is an in camera app but there are times to do it yourself. Like I learned my lens would shoot 60 with the SEL1018 with no coma or star trails at ISO 1600 on my A7s, I played for 2 hrs. capturing the MW at different setting without have to use the camera app. I am going to buy 2 more just to have.

Used this flashlight on a Milky Way Workshop and could see clearly without disturbing the other photographers around me.

nice for Milky Way shots, good price

I love the lock function once focused better than taping it for Milky Way.

I bought this lens specifically to take photos of the Milky Way. Fabulous astrophotos.

I use this glass exclusively for all landscape work and especially Milky Way and Night Photography.
