Reviews on canon lenses for astrophotography?

Hi all,
Not sure this would be the right place for this post....?
Thinking of saving up some cash next year for a nice new canon lense.
I would primarily use it for widefield astrophotography but will also use it for normal use. Something over 80mm to 200mm. anyone got advice on which are the sharpest edge to edge and best value for money? are any of the new L series zoom lenses anygood like the 70-200 f/2.8 or f/4. The 135mm f/2.8 softfocus any good (its a good price)?. How about the sigma apo zooms?
Any advice to what you have and how good it is for (primary use astroimaging)?
Also any links to sites with reviews as to astro imaging with these lenses would be great....
Cheers Gary
