[Leica] A starry night with the Z7 and Leica R28 and R100

[Howard Cummer]

At last the rain and wind ceased and the clouds cleared revealing a bright star lite sky. I hauled out the Z7 and first the Leica R 28  II Elmarit.

Z7 plus 100 R APO Orion’s belt 4 secs ISO 800

I have enjoyed using the M10 for star lite sky shots and the Z7 handles much the same way with perhaps
slightly better noise suppression . Focus with the Leotax N bayoneted R lenses was easy. Just rack
them over to the infinity stop.

Please view large if you like. C&C always welcome.
