Description

Note: For cameras with a *, the automatic sensor cleaning function is lost during conversion. After the conversion, the sensor can be cleaned dry (e.g. with compressed air) or wet (e.g. with swabs) as usual. All preparations and methods available on the market for sensor cleaning can be used.

Attention: The Sony FE 16-35 mm F2.8 GM II is not suitable for night shots because it has an internal infrared LED. With long exposures and high ISO values, the stray light from this LED can become visible in the images. According to some reports, the light is not visible in the 16-20 mm range, but we generally recommend choosing an alternative lens for astrophotography.

Astro filter

For astrophotography, you have the choice between a full spectrum filter and a so-called astro filter. Both filters have advantages and disadvantages.

Full spectrum:

  • Not suitable for wide-angle shots due to complex color shifts
  • Additional UHC, bandpass or luminance filters are required
  • Multispectral images in the UV or IR range are possible
  • Halos around bright stars occur in deep-sky images
  • Not recommended for night landscapes

Full spectrum:

  • The color shift can be corrected well with a manual white balance for night landscapes and deep sky
  • Additional filters are not necessary, but possible
  • No multispectral images (UV/IR)
  • No halos due to effective coating of the glass
  • Not recommended for multispectral and scientific imaging in the IR or UV range

You can find more details and sample images in our dedicated Astro articles.
