Is there a limit on how wide is too wide for you? I know you prefer autofocus, but the wider you get, the less detrimental precise focus is and you can often leave it at a certain focus distance.

With that said, the [Rokinon 14mm 2.8](Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC Ultra Wide Angle Fixed Lens w/ Built-in AE Chip for Nikon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004NNUN02/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Eeo6Ab1G6B6MW) is a modern lens at an excellent price at $300, but is manual focus.

If you are doing weddings, definitely go for the 24-70 2.8. It's really good lens for wedding.

I might get downvoted for saying this, but I would recommend the Tamron version. It's thrice the price, and performes just as good. Just my 2 cents. If you have lots of money though go for the new nikon 24-70 VR without any hesitation

I would also recommend as a nifty buy : https://amzn.com/B004NNUN02 if you still want a decent lens for landscape. I have it, and it does okay : it gets the job done.

I got this lens for landscape and astro photography: Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC Ultra Wide Angle Fixed Lens w/ Built-in AE Chip for Nikon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004NNUN02/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_ZlMxwbY9J67ME

It doesn't have AF so I suggest using it with a tripod. Here's one of my picture I shot with the lens: https://flic.kr/p/sky3TK

I also have a D3100 and would recommend :

Rokinon 14mm F2.8 Ultra Wide Angle Lens with Automatic Chip for Nikon (Black) - currently $322.99

Your best bet if you want to shoot the night sky at a budget is look for refurbished or used units (on the net - Amazon, Cameta, or your local classifieds.) From a very quick browse, if you want a dedicated night sky shooter, then the Nikon D3300 (refurb $295 from Cameta) and the Rokinon f2.8 14mm = 21mm equivalent ($279 new from Amazon) will let you take amazing night photos. The Nikon D3300 is a great low light shooter - large sensor, paired with a solid image processor. The Rokinon gives a large field of view (equivalent to 80° horizontal) and is fairly fast at f2.8. With this setup, all that's needed is you going to a nice location with little light pollution, snapping away in raw, and then maybe doing some required post-processing.

Also note that I've seen way better deals for the D3300 - seen it at $250 with Kit Lens after discounts and cashback, new, you might be able to find something like that with the Black Friday sales. If you need a more general purpose lens then the Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 (~300 Amazon) is a great alternative to the Kit Lens - it's faster at f2.8 and slightly wider angle 25mm-75mm in 35mm equivalent. Also, you could look for an equivalent Canon DSLR (1200D from the top of my mind) with a similar lens. Good luck!

Edit: Also note that ultra wide angles <20mm are really expensive new. The 21mm will get you fantastic results, or if you want panoramas, then you might have to stitch pictures together - an entirely different topic!

I feel you on the dslr, I just bought this
when it was on sale the other day. More expensive to do than smoke and more addicting lol

I'm still a noob with this sort of thing, so I'm not sure if this will help or not. Here it is though, fwiw.

I have that exact camera (no fish-eye attachment) and had a very hard time getting the kit lenses to work well with night photography. IIRC, the widest lens it comes with is an f4, which means your exposures are always going to be super long (i.e., star trails).

Before your trip, go try and take some pictures first of the night sky and see what you can come up with. You may be satisfied with what comes out, or you may want to look into something like this:

Yes it does. This is the exact item: https://www.amazon.com/Rokinon-Ultra-Angle-Fixed-Built/dp/B004NNUN02

I've updated the description to include this. Thanks for looking!

u/Logical_Phallusy · 1 pointr/photography

I would say avoid the kit lens and get this Rokinon 14mm f/2.8. It is currently out of your price range for a new copy, but you will get much better results out of it than the sub-par 18-55mm. It's manual focus, but that won't be an issue for landscape. It has a wider aperture and the extra 4mm will help you out too.

Well, like I said, I'm an amateur so I don't have a ton of equipment yet. But I've been steadily upgrading my equipment for over a year now. The #1 investment I've made so far is this. Excellent, excellent lens for the price.

Although its not a zoom lens, and its a wide angle so you'll still be getting a small moon. I was able to achieve a pretty good shot of the moon with a 70-300mm lens, though. I have an APS-C censor so that translates to 450mm, but at that zoom the moon encompasses most of the frame and you can get really nice clarity.

Personally, I like getting some of the landscape in the frame so I usually stick to the 14mm. I also can't really get anything celestial besides the moon without an actual telescope and I do not own one.

Depending on your budget, you could go for a Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 - it's $300 on Amazon right now. I got one and it has worked great with my T3i
