I picked up a Samyang 20mm f/1.8 last week and tonight the skies cleared enough to give it a decent test out my local beach/cliffs.
I've been torn between getting a Nikon 20mm f/1.8 and this lens for a while now but as much as the Nikon has a great reputation for normal photography I've just seen too many reviews which showed way to much coma in astro images. I'm pretty happy with the Samyang, its far better than using my Nikon 24-70 f/2.8.
These were shot with a Nikon D750 / Samyang 20mm f/1.8 @ f/1.8 iso6400
