Personally, i believe a range of 35mm to 85mm will be best for star trails
:devil:

 

[jkl]

film or digital?
if film kodak gold 200 can?

 

[icarus]

35mm - 85mm in film



Use a slow film better... asa 100 films will be nice

CLS? your flash can reach the stars?

:faint: for the foreground lah....

You wun want to just capture the star trails alone right? the pic would be so uninteresting.

 

[tucker]

seems like there's a healthy responds for star trails.
why don't ya guys consider going over to m'sia or other offshore isle for trails?
ya can even catch e milkyway and other fixed tripod subject.
