[QUOTE="kevy73, post: 466895, member: 23493"] I would go with the faster of the 2. Both of those lens' are only going to be good for getting the Magellan clouds of the milky way or star trails. To get these - you need For milky way 1) A dark night. 2) No moon, or very little moon. 3) No clouds 4) Tripod 5) ISO between 800 - 3200 depending on how dark it is and how visible the milky way is to the naked eye 6) Lowest f stop you can get 7) Shutter speed of between 15 - 30 seconds 8) Cable release For star trails ISO can drop - and set camera to bulb and hold shutter open for up to as long as you like.
