    Steve, great photos! I just can recommend the Rokinon 12mm f2 for milky way shoots. It is a very simple (manual focus only) but brilliant lens. You will receive great value. I also use the Rokinon for star shooting. I think it just give me the perfect aspect ratio for milky way (very wide, but not too wide). Also, it is really sharp and very easy to handle. What I also recommend to get the last piece of perfection for your star shooting, is the iOptron Star tracker. It allows me to do 4-5 minutes exposures, while closing the lens to f/4 and stepping down the ISO values to ISO800. It requires to do two separate images (one for the background, one for the foreground), because the skytracker will move the camera.

    For me the 56mm and 90mm replaced it in the 'great' category. I'm not denying it's a great macro lens, but if you already have the 27mm then you have a much cheaper option in the extenders.

    I own the 56APD and love it! For me, it is the perfect focal length for doing portraits and do prefer it over the 90mm. The APD is working great and I adore its smoothness. I also use the 35mm and 23mm, if I don't have the distance for the 56. So I don't see the 90 being that useful for studio portraits... Maybe for outside shooting sessions?

    I have a contraption on my face called “nose”, so… All other things being equal – I vote for a viewfinder in the corner.

    Again, not true. What the APD filter does cannot be solved with a longer focal length.
     
    As said, it requires specific conditions all coming together to benefit from it. With indeed shooting at F1.2 being one of them, but that is all part of the deal, and most people that buy such a fast lens will want to use it wide open! I'm not saying everybody should get the APD version if they could, more like the opposite. Only do it if you understand its perks! But as to the reasons why, there is just too much false information going around, clearly.
