   Hey @thomasfuchs I'm going camping somewhere with some good sky, I think, and am trying to work out what a good lens to rent would be.

   Last time I rented a 14mm f2.8 (https://www.lensrentals.com/rent/root/photo/canon/lenses/wide-angle/rokinon-14mm-f2.8-series-ii-for-canon-ef) and it's just going to be me, a tripod and nothing tracked…

     @thomasfuchs @danhon @amyhoy oh one drawback of the Rokinon is it does not have Autofocus.

     @thomasfuchs @danhon @amyhoy sooo want.

     I have a Rokinon 24mm f/1.4 and it’s very good too, obviously not as wide angle as that Sigma though but still very sharp.

     I have a Sigma Art 24-75 f1.4 and it’s fantastic. I bet that 14mm is sweet.

     @pixel @thomasfuchs @danhon @amyhoy Protip: Get a Bahtinov mask to focus on stars. Cheap and reliable! https://astrobackyard.com/bahtinov-mask/

     @thomasfuchs @danhon @amyhoy absolutely - I brought it up because I used it for some architectural photography and missed autofocus 😊 (oh also the aperture is manual too, natch)
