Thinking about adding the Sigma 24-35 f2.0 to mybag. Thinking it might be a good lens for astro-photography. I have a Nikon 28mm f1.8 but there have been a few times where a zoom, or another prime with a different focal length would have helped. So it's either this or a Nikon 20mm f1.8. A f1.4 lens would be nice but it's not in the budget right now. The new lens will go on my D750.
It's supposed to be a great lens . It scores better than four primes that would
Cost you $4000 to buy . In that range . Here you get it all in one lens for
$700. Or there about's .

You are spot on in your observation. I have the 18-35mm version for my D7100 and plan on buying the 24-35mm for my D810.

You might but the difference in speed (f/2.0 vs 2.8) is attractive. In astro photography this can minimize star trails if this is what you're after.

When it comes to the new lenses I feel like a kid in a candy store with only a penny to spend.
