Nikon 20mm f/1.8G the best lens for Astrophotography?

[@ThePurpleFlower]

I ordered this lens just now. And I love your photographs. Just went and looked through your IG and website. 🙂

[@TheJorgeb]

I didn’t know about this filter, thanks for mentioning! Hope I will be able to shoot something good on my first astro session with my stock lens.

[@Movincii]

Def my most used lens for milky way photography!!

[@marvinorellana1576]

What type of filter is? Model number or name thanks 😊

[@Purplemerman]

I think it's a "Starscape - Light Pollution" filter.

[@SpaceFactsWax]

Thank you for sharing. I got the chance to witness a rocket launch in 2018. Memorable experience. I shared a pretty cool montage of the journey to my channel.

Hi there, great review and very helpful as i am currently looking into this lens. Are all the images shot in this video solely one image? or are they stacked/tracked?

[@mikehoskin1674]

More than likely stacked. Did you buy one of these lens

[@gewglesux]

I'm buying this! Thanks for the review!

[@gewglesux]

I think i like the 14mm better..

@@mikehoskin1674 I actually changed my mind.. i went the way of a telescope for Astro

[@mjkman0101]

Could you please mention the model number of the Hoya filter you suggested? I have this lens and it is superb both during the day and at night!

turn your sound up on future videos, I'm on a macbook which has notoriously poor speakers but the other youtube videos are noticeably louder - just some feedback - no offense, I enjoyed the content. Thanks and great shots!

Hi Ben, I listened to this video on a Macbook as well ... and let me kindly offer a suggestion. Video creators set their audio at -12db which is standard for recording the audio portion of video. If he were to adjust that upward, it would likely distort on any "highs" and hurt peoples' ears who have "normal" performing speakers. If the problem is on your end due to a Macbook's under-performing speakers, it should be up to you to fix the issue. Purchase a pair of decent external speakers to plug into your Macbook, as I have, and the sound is excellent. They even make some that are small but work well for travel.

@@MichaelChapmanNatchez I have the same issue on an HP Gaming laptop with Bang & Olufsen speakers. Nobody should have to buy external equipment to listen on a device that's mobile by definition ...

Hello, I’ve just purchased this lens and I also intend to use it with a D850. How long can you keep the shutter open before you see noticeable star trails? PhotoPills is suggesting only 10 seconds with this combination. As I haven’t had a chance to use it yet I was wondering what was your experience? Thanks

[@MegaKillerwatt]

I have this lens and use it on a d750. My exposure times for astrophotography are up to 20 secs. I would also suggest the you go into your custom settings menu and scroll down to Shooting/Display and look for d4 Exposure delay mode. This will get the mirror up and out of the way before the image is taken and can remove some of the shake in the camera.

[@mikehoskin1674]

​@@MegaKillerwattthank God for mirrorless cameras

[@ThePolomarco]

Hi! Great Review. Do you think this will give me some good results on a nikon d5300, i used this camera before with a 35mm 1.8g (not the best lens tho but that's what i got at that time). I will shoot some milky way shoots in 15 days so i'm hoping this can get me some results.

[@AstrordinaryImaging]

Hi. Thanks heaps! The 20mm will be more like a 35mm on a D5300. I like using a 35mm focal length for panoramas but not single frames, it's just not wide enough to capture a large portion of the sky.

[@menknurlan]

Well good luck with that in the Netherlands. My country is literally one big light polluted area in europe 😭

[@gewglesux]

We're not too much better here in NY.

[@stargate445]

Does it work on a Nikon D5600?

[@robertblair7057]

Knows the lens quite well! .....but doesn't know how to attach the lens hood properly?

[@georgedavall9449]

Couldn’t watch after 01:58! Never set a lens down on the rear element, unprotected! Sheesh! Your lens, do what you want, but there may be newcomers to Photography that are watching and don’t know any better. No offense intended, juss sayin... peace

Please project your voice more. You are talking to passively.
