Would this lens work well for astrophotography ?

Would this lens work well for astrophotography ?
Asked by: Jeff
Yes, if you want a lens that has autofocus and is very small and portable at this price range the Viltrox AF 20mm f/2.8 Lens (Nikon Z) would work well for astrophotography. It does have a wide angle field of view on a full frame Nikon Z camera that will allow you to get a wide shot of the sky. It also has the 2.8 aperture that offers good quality in low light.

does this give a fisheye look to the images?

does this give a fisheye look to the images?
Asked by: christopher
The Viltrox AF 20mm f/2.8 Lens (Nikon Z) is not a fisheye lens. Fisheye lenses tend to start in the 16mm or wider range, and the product would specifically state "fisheye" in the description.
