I have several XF lenses but not that one. All Fuji lenses are up there with L glass Canon and Zeiss. Some a tad better than others but they are all superb.

This is a newer lens and I read about the 5 stop optical stabilisation. I don't think it would be very useful for astro work though only terrestial.

For nightscapes the XF14mm 2.8 is hard to beat. I tiny bit of coma in the top corners but the rest is perfect. Small, light and sharp.

The 10-24mm F4 is probably also very very good for astro although F4 is getting a bit dim and would need a Polarie to make up for no F2.8.

The Rokinon/Samyang 12mm F2 is supposed to be excellent. There is an X mount version of it.
