Impressive example. Good point! Admittedly reviews aren't always the best guide. I agree looking at sample images from many users is a more reliable approach.

For nightscapes I think coma and chromatic aberration wide open are the 2 key critical performance criteria which is different to daylight terrestial imaging. There's not much you can do about coma except stop down. Chromatic aberration is correctable but always leaves a degraded image to some degree being a desaturation routine. Vignetting is easy to correct. Not many lenses perform wide open and are widefield. So that was my main point.

How does this lens do from that viewpoint?

Greg.
