Capturing sharp stars and the Milky Way is one of the few genres in photography where special lenses are really a make or break deal. Fast apertures are a must, and there are unique aberrations that affect stars in ways that typically don't show up in daytime images.
In this head to head field test, see how the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8, Zeiss Milvus 15mm f/2.8, Rokinon SP 14mm f/2.4, and Sigma Art 14mm f/1.8 compare for shooting stars and the night sky.
