You can get round stars with up to 13 second exposures and ISO3200-6400 is very very bright. You get minor trailing at around 20 seconds which is similar to 30 seconds with 14mm.

Below F2 though it is not useable as there is too much chromatic aberration and seagull stars. F2.8 may also work. There is slight chromatic aberration left at F2 but it should process out easily as it is only slight.

There appears to be very little curvature although I have camera lens correction checked in the internal menus. Not sure how much effect it has though.

I think it will need a dark site to perform ideally as it picks up any light pollution quickly and makes the sky look very light.

Terrestially its an interesting lens. You can get really close to the object and it makes it look further away so it could be good for some unusual effects.

I'll be playing with it more.

Thanks for the info Greg As long as it is good at F/2.8 that will be fine with me.
