Hey /p/holks,

I'm a Canon user and I'm looking for a wide angle lens for astro/landscape photography. I would prefer to go full frame capable as I want to transition from apsc eventually and weather proof is always nice. I am just finding that there are too many options to narrow down. Thanks!

That's very funny, thank you for your feedback.
For a wide angle lens is it more practical to have just manual focus? It would most likely take money off the cost...

Where ya from, OP?

Canon 11-24

yeah it's f4 but these days with how high you can push the ISO the 11mm is more important

Tokina 16-28/f2.8

I have the DX version (11-20) and it works really well.

Thanks guys, that's very helpful, I forgot about tokina, usually people carry sigma and tamron around where I live as off brands.

For astro just get manual focus, you'll be at infinity all the time anyway.

Canon user and Canadian? If OP isn't already on hormones I don't know what to think.

I am in a similar position now OP, looking for a wide astro lens.
You might find this useful, a bunch of wide angle lenses tested and compared. Unfortunately, no clear winner (although to me rokinon 14mm 2.8 looks like the best option).

Dunno if the processing or the lens itself makes this such a shitty photo.
>>
>>3062028
Just go balls out and get this.

OP might as well throw his money out the window if he wants to buy a Sigma fART

Also consider this chart

Just get a d810 and 14-24 instead.

That's a fantastic chart! Definitely saved, I'll take it into consideration for sure when I'm buying my lens.

I use this lens for my astro shots

I got it for the aperture, but the vignetting is insane at f/1.4, I have to bring it down to 2.8 before it's manageable. Other than that, so far I love the lens.
>>
>>3062568
I see it too, my take is it's a lazy edit. You amplify the whites and clarity, and pull back the highlights creates a weird aberration on the edges of the trees and horizon near the landscape. It's that fuzzy white bright glow, you also need to be aware the landscape is important too when taking these shots, if you do a global adjustment of the stars it's also going to affect the foreground. It's fine if you don't care, but other people will chew it apart, you need local adjustments if you want to fix that. I did the same when I started practicing astrophotography with my edits.

The new 1. I've seen the corner crops.
>>
>>3063223

What is the focal length of the new one? Is it full frame capable?
>>
>>3063133
Just take some flat frames before or after, a white shirt and a flashlight will do. Combine in DSS and you have the f/1.4 image without vignetting.

Irix 11mm is better, just saying.
>>
what about a 24 - 70? at 2.8 that would give a fairly broad bottom line while still giving the reach of 70mm. inb4 attacks on my lifestyle choices.

>>3062147
This is terrible advice.
