Sigma 14mm for Milky Way?
Jul 16, 2019 11:21:18 #
I have just gotten into Milky Way photography and bought a Rokinon 14mm f2.8 manual focus lens specifically for that purpose (used on a Canon 6D). For the price, it's a pretty darn nice lens for this purpose, but does have some issues with color-cast, vignetting and chroma. Most things can be cleaned up in post, but...I've seen where Sigma has a fairly new 14mm f1.8 Art lens. I am thinking I might try to rent one from Lensrental ($88 for 5 days) and try it out. The thing looks like a real beast (and it's several times the cost of my Rokinon).

For the money that Rokinon would be hard to beat. I bought mine on EBay for just $239. It's always a crap shoot when you buy used, especially on eBay but to my delight, the lens arrived in like new condition and works perfecly. Did not have a mark on it anywhere. I'd just like to see how much difference that extra stop of aperature would make.
