Sigma 14mm F1.4 DG DN | Art astrophotography lens on Nikon
As a Nikon shooter (Z7II and other bodies), I've long been using a Nikkor 14-24 f/2.8 G lens for night-sky photography. A favorite subject is the Milky Way against Western US terrestrial foregrounds/backgrounds. Most often I shoot at 14mm, f/2.8, 20 second exposure. Results have been quite good.
But Sigma has introduced a lens optimized for night sky photography: The Sigma 14mm F1.4 DG DN | Art. This lens claims to be optimized for infinity shooting, and minimizes aberrations that bedevil night-sky photographers. Also, it is two stops faster than my zoom.
So I'm interested in buying this lens, in Sony mount, and using it on a Nikon Z full-frame body, with a MEGADAP Sony E to Nikon Z Autofocus Adapter (ETZ21 Pro).
Looking for feedback from anyone who has tried, researched, or thought much about this combo. I've found nothing substantive online.
Thanks in advance!
