Thanks to everybody for the nice comments. Twisted Lip : For Astronomical landscape/monument pictures I use Canon 5dII camera. My lenses are the Canon L serie ones (14 / 24 /35 / 50) ... these are the fast (but I never use them wide open), heavy and expensive ones .... but there are very good and much cheaper alternatives to these ones, for example Samyang 14 and 35 mm etc ....
