Best Lenses for Astrophotography the choice of lens determines how well you get to capture the true beauty of the night sky. Wide-angle lenses with fast aperture speeds are always preferred by the astrophotographer; all types of brands are okay, be it Canon, Nikon, or Sony.

For Canon users, the lenses Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 and Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8 bring the sharpest images with almost no distortion. Many Nikon users prefer NIKKOR Z 20mm f/1.8 S simply for its excellent low-light performance. For Sony lovers, Sony FE 20mm f/1.8 G is a perfect choice as it is sharp and lightweight.

Faster apertures (f/2.8 and faster) allow more light to hit the sensor, so you catch finer details on stars and the Milky Way. Such lenses, as long as you have a strong tripod beneath them, and skies sufficiently far from civilization, would definitely get you gorgeous astrophotography images.
