Hi fellow night crawlers
I am using Canon 5DM4 and the 16-35III on my northern light tours.
I am looking for usable lens that is faster 16mm or less.
I just tried out the Sigma 14mm Art lens and was disappointed because I want to be able to use f2 or f2.2 with same or better result than the 16-35 on f2,8
Is there any lens on the market that does a decent job wide open and doesn't produce unacceptable coma effect?

Surprised to hear that about the Sigma. I've never used one, but read and watch only great things about it. The Rokinon/Samyang 24mm F/1.4 would probably be your best option. Buy new from a reputable seller, (Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama), and test immediately for a good copy. If not a good copy, then keep returning until you get a good one.
Maybe, but 24mm is just not wide enough, I need at least 16mm to be able to get the near field focus distance close enough
me too I am very surprised to hear you did not like the Sigma 14mm F1.4 lens.. it always gets raving reviews - especially for star photography. Also as a prime it should have much better quality than a 16-35 zoom. Did you also try a second copy? Maybe you had really bad luck?
