Which Ultra Wide Fast lens for night sky?

Hi, Guys:

I am looking for ultra wide, fast lens for night sky.

Any brand is fine.

Any suggestion?

Canon 16-35 f/2.8L II
the new one with f/4 and IS

^^^^ ultra wide for the FF bodies
but for the crop i think the Tokina

this is from the canon

Is this for a crop camera or FF camera? I would say Canon 10-22 for crop or if money is not an issue, the Canon 16-35 2.8L for FF camera.

the canon 10-22 is a great ultra wide zoom for the crop
but she or he want a fast lens , thats why I choose lenses with f/2.8

Rokinon 14mm worked great for me earlier this summer. All manual, but easy to use. I also just got their 8mm fisheye, but have not tried it for night yet. Don't see why it would not work though.

You want fast as possible for night sky photography. On crop your best option is the Rokinon 10mm 2.8 followed by the Tokina 11-16s and the Rokinon 14/2.8. The Sigma 18-35 is not ultrawide but the 1.8 aperture will really help.

On FF the Rokinon 14/2.8 and 24/1.4 are probably the best. Being a crop user, I am not familiar with how well the Canon 16-35/2.8 or Tokina 16-28/2.8 do in the coma department but here is a great website that does a lot of night sky equipment reviews:

Also Samyang 16mm f2.0 - faster but less wide than the f2.8 UWAs.

For crop, I have seen reviews of the rokinon 10mm as having extremely soft corners wide open- no bueno. I'd go with the Tokina 11-16, it's pretty much the standard for photographing the night sky on crop bodies.

For full frame, lots more options. The Rokinon 14mm is good, I absolutely LOVE my tokina 16-28, Canon 16-35, etc.

The 10/2.8 is very new. I haven't seen a review. Do you have a link?

Heya,

Tokina has the night ultrawides. Otherwise, Rokinon/Samyang.

11-16 F2.8 Tokina is excellent for ultrawide, night sky.
Rokinon 14mm F2.8 for full frame is one of the better options.

Very best,

Sorry guys, I forgot to mention that it is for FF body.
And I am looking for f/1.4

Currently checking on Canon 14/f2.8 II, Leica R 15/2.8 II, Zeiss 15 f/2.8, Nikon 12-14 is great but it is f/4.0 & can't use on EOS

Tried the Samyang... but it is too soft, don't like it at all, the image away from the center is

Isn't IS a big big benefit for this type of photography. If so, I recommend 10-18 IS STM.
I think you will get lower ISO than the Tokina.

Not really as a tripod should be used for night sky shots.
