Great photo, I'm very interested to know if a 0.7x reducer was used? If so, does it significantly affect the field flatness and image quality? Thank you.

Thank you :) Yes, of course. Personally, I felt that without the reducer, the quality was actually not very good... although it might have been the atmosphere.
