I just posted a link to a image of it's distortions wide open. It's bad enough for stars that I think you would have to stop down to use it on a crop sensor. Which is fine, it's still a great lens, I never said it wasn't, but for astro I don't think it would be good wide open for sure. I haven't seen any posts of it at f2.8 or f3, until then I'll wait. The 15-30 for example is really good performer, and I use that lens, but looking for one around 50-85mm.

I haven't bought it yet as I'm hoping to find examples of the lens stopped down to f2.8-f4 but Lenny has posted a wide open example in the lens clubs group.

Really hoping the new 85 has better controlled coma/astigmatism than the new 50. It's pretty bad wide open. Hoping stopped down to f 4 it'll be usable but I've yet to see anyone post examples

Keep saving, I imagine it'll be in the $1600-2000 price range
