Yes I was amazed. That Zeiss lens is US$3000 + shipping and GST and the Nikon is around the $2,200 mark.

My 2nd copy Samyang 24mm F1.4 is a nice lens as well. It is slightly better than my superb Nikon 24-70 in colour rendering, contrast and about the same sharpness. But its manual focus which of course is no problem for astro work. Coma and chromatic aberration go away by F2.
