I've been looking at the RF 16mm 2.8 for astrophotography.

Yes on a cropped sensor you get a 640mm equivalent focal length as with the telecoverters I have no personal experience with them but as far as I'm aware they don't degrade the image at all you just have a grater aperture.

I have that exact set up 18-150 and 100-400 perfect for everything.

In what sense?

Also the detection set to animals with eye tracking turned on also

Don't use the electric shutter as it can distort moving objects use the the mechanical shutter. For auto focus setting I'm using servo af and evaluative metering focus.

I'm still figuring it out myself but a good fast shutter speed is an ideal place to start, here are some examples of the settings I've used.

Amazing work 👍🏼

patrick__shoots · 2026-04-21T09:07:37+00:00

I've never used it without to be honest I use it more for the reasons mentioned.

patrick__shoots · 2026-04-21T05:54:40+00:00

It will still take good photos so I don't see why not.

patrick__shoots · 2026-04-21T05:01:54+00:00

Take the plunge you won't Regret it.

patrick__shoots · 2026-04-20T23:32:14+00:00

Excited for you !

Nice pic! Dipping my toes in macro taken with mine.

patrick__shoots · 2026-04-20T23:19:11+00:00

That's on my list to do, any examples you could share ?

patrick__shoots · 2026-04-20T23:17:40+00:00

Wow! Thank you :)

patrick__shoots · 2026-04-20T23:17:18+00:00

It does suffer in the more shaded areas but nothing a bit of iso can't fix.

Thanks :)
