#3 How is this lens for astrophotography? Coma-free at its widest aperture?
The Nikon 24mm f/1.4G ED does not have significant coma correction at f/1.4, but its performance is decent at f/2.8. For a lens that performs better at wide open, very popular choices include the Nikon 20mm f/1.8G ED and the Rokinon/Samyang 14mm f/2.8 ED UMC
