Sigma 24mm 1.4 art or Sigma 35mm 1.4 art for low light?

Anyone have a Sigma 24mm art 1.4 prime and a Sigma 35mm 1.4 prime? I'm trying to decide which to get for low light and some star photography too but I'm struggling to decide so if any of you have some experience with both which do you prefer and recommend for me?

Some info: Lightroom says 80% of my pictures are at 24mm and I'm looking for a good wide angle prime to go with my 50mm 1.2 and my 24-70 f2.8 but 35mm seems like a nice focal length to me as well as most of my photography is without a tripod and more run and gun Instagram style.

Also I'll be using the prime with a 5D III if that helps.

You don't need validation from us, LR has done it for you! Get the 24, or get the 16-35 f4IS to take you to another level of wide.

Yeah I thought so, I guess I'll go for the 24mm :D not too much of a fan of the 16-35 as it's only f4 and I was looking more for something that'll work better for low light for me :o

I only suggested the 16-35, which is an unbelievably good lens (better than my 11-24 at all focal lengths they share), because if 80% of your shots are at your widest point on the 24-70 then I suspect you actually want wider a good portion of that time.

F4 is one stop lower than your 24-70, can't you spare one stop of iso most of the time?

You may want to read this before deciding. The sigma 24mm has coma issues until f/2.8 for star photography. If you are using f2.8' might be better served by the Tamron 15-30.
