[QUOTE="J-see, post: 466910, member: 31330"] Personally I find the 35mm a bit narrow for night skies and the shutter speed is rather limited for that length. I have to limit them to faster than 10 seconds else my stars start to trail. The 10-20mm might work better in terms of shutter speed, especially at the short end but the aperture works against you in terms of light gathering and live-view focusing. If you already own both lenses, experiment with them and see what works best for the shots you have in mind. Two lenses that are often used for night skies are the Samyang (Rokinon) 24mm f/1.4 and the 14mm f/2.8. They're not too expensive so if this sort of photography interests you, you might check them out if you decide to get another lens in the future. [/QUOTE]
