Hi,
I am currently using the Samyang 14 F/2.8 on my 6D.
Would like to go a bit wider.
As a hobbyist photographer, I cannot justify the purchase of Canon's 11-24 F/2.8

Lonley Speck is not very positive about F/4 lenses for lowlight.

What do you think?
Had the Canon 16-35 F/2.8 until it got stolen

Kind regards

I think you mean Canon's 11-24 F/4, the new 16-35 f/2.8 II seems better but of course its 2++ stop vignetting in the corners gonna be a problem, the tamron seems like a great lens for astro, however my next lens on the line for that is the 35mm f/1.4 II, its not as wide as the 14mm but one can always do panos

For fairly low cost, you could try the Rokinon 12mm fisheye.
