The Samyang 12mm f/2.0 is a popular and affordable option for astro photography. You can buy that lens for just astro, and another one (less wide) for street.

It's a small and light lens. Manual focus, but for astro you will anyways find AF to be useless.

You can certainly use narrower focal lengths for astro, but that will reduce your maximum possible shuttertime before you get blurry stars thus they're less popular.

Thank you for a new suggestion, i will look at it too.
