Introduction
While archiving my astrophotos I stumbled on this partly processed data of the wide field view of the Lagoon Nebula (and many other Messier objects) I took during my stay on La Palma in 2014.
Imaging with the Nikkor 24-85mm F2.8-F4
I don’t use this lens to much, but I wanted to try it out on 24mm and I think the result shows it’s definately usable on 24mm at F4. However, we can see that it’s not the sharpest lens out there, just as I already concluded during the lens test of the Nikkor 24-85mm.
