Canon Announces the Canon RF 14mm f/1.4L VCM

They also do a light pollution / night sky filter which I have.

Kolari has a magnetic one of those. I have considered it, but the streetlights where I live are all LED. Nice, white LEDs that are bright , energy efficient , and cover most of the visible spectrum .

i own the 14-35. as a landscape photographer it is essential kit to me. i would never sell it or any of my essential lenses

I own an EOS R5 and I do mainly landscape and astro (Milky Way and so on....).
I use the RF 15-35 f2,8 with the MSM rotator star tracker but indeed a faster/brighter lens would be a bonus.

In my photography sometimes I also would like to use a wider fish-eye lens, for dramatic images so now my major question is what would be the most obvious choice: the RF 14mm f1.4 or the RF 7-14 f2.8 considering the fact that I have already the RF 15-35 f2,8? In terms of wider images, is the new RF 14mm f/1.4 making the images much wider compared to the RF 15-35 f2,8? The faster lens is of course handy BUT at the end it is a bit more important to me to use a wider lens rather than a brighter lens, since astro is NOT my only photo genre????

My answer?
Both!

In total: The RF 14/1.4 is a nice lens, but there are alternatives - for astro - now (and each of these 14mm lenses has pros and cons).

Which lenses would you recommend over the expensive 14/1.4 VCM?
