Hi
I am currently looking for an UWA lens for astro photography and landscape. Ideally:
it should not cost a fortune (< 1k)
deliver high optical quality all the way to the edges with low coma and CA
be as compact as possible
I know these requirements are somewhat contradictive, but still, I'm trying to find the best compromize for me.
Currently, I have narrowed it down to the following candidates:
Samyang 14mm F2.8 manual version: huge, not designed for Sony FE, no filter thread and copy-to-copy variation seems to be a big problem
Samyang FE 14mm F2.8 AF version: no filter thread, some say it's better than the manual version, others say it's worse, don't really need AF
Laowa 15mm F2 Zero D: coma correction is only average
Irix 15mm F2.4 Blackstone: huge, not designed for Sony FE
Tokina Firin 20mm F2: a bit narrow with 'only' 20mm
Any recommendations? Which lenses do you use for astro/landscapes?
Cheers,
