A common question. The Nikon 14-24 is still, after all these years one of the best. I use mine all the time. No CA wide open, sharp as, very wide FOV. Huge, heavy, expensive and can't take filters but awesome. I just used it almost exclusively photographing landscapes with a Sony A7r. A great combo.
The new Canon Peter mentioned is also likely to be awesome. Huge, large and super expensive but awesome.
Zeiss 15mm F2.8 is a proven ripper (see Carlos's nightscapes on this site).
Samyang 24 1.4 is fine from F2.2 onwards.
Sigma 35 1.4 has some fine example nightscapes but getting a bit long in focal length.
Samyang 14 F2.8 has many examples but suffers from moustache distortion. I think that only is an issue in daylight shots with a foreground object (with straight lines in it no doubt).
Don't be sucked in by the lure of F1.4 or F1.2. Every fast lens I have ever used has lots of CA and you have to stop them down to F2.8 to make them work anyway. They are more meant for blurry background portraits and low light shots where CA doesn't show up and coma is not an issue. I think its an optical tradeoff.
