Hi Folks:
I am a budding photo enthusiast. Just bought a new R6 & now I am beginning to learn the incredible number of features on this camera. Primary interest is landscapes, wildlife & astrography.
I want to learn as much as I can from members of this site. Please share tips, techniques & money saving tips as I grow my collection of lenses & filters.
Lenses: Canon RF 24 - 240
Canon USM 100 - 400 4.5 - 5.6
Canon EFS 10 - 22 3.5 - 4.5
Canon EF to RF adapter with Control ring (wish I had @ least one more)
What I want most:
1. A sturdy & lightweight tripod suitable for astrography. Recommend please.
Thanks

I got the R6 a coule months ago. I love it. low light performance is incredible. There is significant vingnet on my 24-240 at 240, but it's easily fixed in post processing. How does the EFS 10-22 work with the adapter? I know it will fit, but have read that the image is cropped by the camera to about 8 mega pixel since the lens cant fill the full frame sensor.
My wish list is the sigma 12-14, reported to be the widest rectilinear lens availabe for full frame. Or maybe the RF16 if it ever becomes in stock again.
Welcome to the forum! There may be an astrophotography group in your area. Try to find them, they will give you many tips and go on astrophotography adventures. Good luck!
Although your EF-S 10-22 is a wonderful lens, the crop factor when used on the R6 is a waste of the lens and the 20MP full frame R6 sensor. Put this lens up for sale and buy a used 17-40L that is the same lens in image quality and a full-frame model, and picks up the IBIS of the camera.
