This is a great wide field lens with a constant F2.8 aperture. This lens is WIDE. Needs to be taken to a dark site as it collects so much light. Bit of flaring in the lens but as long as you dont point it near the sun or moon it is fine

Pretty happy with this lens. Took it out today for a few quick shots. The lens is wide open at F2.8 and no cropping.
Anyone who occasionally watches the Aussie soaps might recognise the location
