Re: Best Street & Astrophotography Lens

Best for astrophotography needs to be wide (in FOV... well and aperture) and fast, low coma, etc... The Samyang 12mm is probably the best choice for that. The Samyang 14mm is also very good for this. If you have or might want another system besides NX later you might consider getting the lens for a different mount and using it with an adapter since the Samyang lenses are all manual anyway. Keep in mind that the edge sharpness is most affected by the adapter for very wide angle lenses though (according to Roger Cicala's tests). Still, I haven't had an issue with that.
