Milky Way Astrophotography Lens Review Nikon 14 24mm Zeiss 15mm Rokinon SP 14mm Sigma Art
Capturing sharp stars and the Milky Way is one of the few genres in photography where special lenses are really a make or break deal. Fast apertures are a must, and there are unique aberrations that affect stars in ways that typically don't show up in daytime images.
In this head to head field test, see how the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8, Zeiss Milvus 15mm f/2.8, Rokinon SP 14mm f/2.4, and Sigma Art 14mm f/1.8 compare for shooting stars and the night sky.
