The 120 ASPH is a fabulous lens.... Don't ever sell it.View attachment 213821
CFV 100C | SK 120 Asph | 3 Shot Stitch. Reasonably happy with this. 1/6th scale

Which aperture value was used? I own the ancestor Makro-Symmar HM 5,6/120.View attachment 213821

I was at F/16 for this shot.Which aperture value was used? I own the ancestor Makro-Symmar HM 5,6/120.
Are you working with any software before PixInsight or just using interval shooting directly in camera? Wondering if you're using FITs or the Fuji raw files in PI. Had a lot of issues with some photographic camera raw files in PixInsight before, but not familiar enough with Fuji raw files to know if theres any hassle.I hesitated to put this astro image up as it is well and truly outside the normal square for this thread. On the other hand, it demonstrates the capability of medium format in this space. I took it when I had opportunity to stay overnight at a dark-sky location in inland Canterbury, and decided to take my star tracker and test how my new-to-me GFX 100S would perform on a deep space target. This was taken with a Mamiya RZ Apo Sekor 210/4.5, which I find adapts very well for astro. What surprised me here was that I had opened the aperture up fully to focus but then failed to stop it down to my usual F/5.6 before taking a sequence of shots - so this is shot wide open. The image is a composite of 20 60-second images shot at ISO 640, processed in PixInsight with final adjustment in PS. The target is the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, so called because Magellan was the first European to venture south of the equator in 1519, bringing the attention of the LMC to western astronomers, although it was well known to many southern hemisphere cultures. Apologies to you northerners - you will have to come south to see it. Here in NZ, it is clearly visible with the naked eye.

Chris, I find it straightforward to work directly with the Fuji raw files in PI, and have a library of bias, dark and flat frames, following the usual PI process of calibrating, debayering, aligning and integrating images.Are you working with any software before PixInsight or just using interval shooting directly in camera?

Ah thank you! My issues were mainly with Nikon mirrorless raw files. Haven't even thought about trying to use Hasselblad's raws but may be overthinking that one.Chris, I find it straightforward to work directly with the Fuji raw files in PI, and have a library of bias, dark and flat frames, following the usual PI process of calibrating, debayering, aligning and integrating images.
