My ultimate goal would be to capture some pictures of the milky way but it is something that I'm going to need to work up to. The basic fundamentals of trying to get pictures of stars or the milky way is to capture as much light as possible before the rotation of the earth becomes evident in your photo. I know I could use a barn door setup along with the higher f stop number for longer exposure but really don't want to get specific equipment for one application.

Anyone have experience with the Tokina 11-18mm lens?
