Best APS-C lenses for Aurora photography
APS-C sensors are not the best for low-light photography and for capturing light, so pairing your crop-sensor camera with a good fast lens is important if you want to get the best Northern Lights images.
Best prime lenses for shooting the Aurora Borealis (APS-C)
- Rokinon 12mm f/2.0 x-mount: The best all-round lens for photographing the Northern Lights in APS-C mirrorless cameras. It’s light, sharp, fast and very cheap. Compatible with Sony, Fuji, Canon, Olympus, and Panasonic.
- Rokinon 10 mm f/2.8 ED: A similar option to the Rokinon 12mm, but also available on Nikon and Canon APS-C cameras.
- Sigma 16mm 1.4 DC DN: If you’re looking for a lens that includes more features like autofocus or some weather sealing, this is a good option. Compatible with Sony E mounts and Micro 4/3 cameras.
Best wide-angle zoom lenses for shooting the Northern Lights (APS-C)
- Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8 Di III-A RXD: In terms of quality for price, this is the best generic wide-angle lens for photographing the Northern Lights on APS-C cameras. Compatible with Sony and Fujifilm APS-C cameras.
- Sony – FE 12-24mm F4 G: This is the best wide-angle Aurora lens to pair with Sony crop-sensor models. It’s not f/2.8, but it’s wide and versatile. Compatible with: Sony
Best Sony lens for shooting The Northern Lights
Sony has some of the best lenses to photograph the Northern Lights. Apart from the Sony 20 mm f/1.8 mentioned above, these are my 4 picks:
- Sony FE 20mm f/1.8 G: This is one of the best lenses to photograph the Northern Lights, it’s fast, wide, light, it’s affordable, and it’s the best option if you want a fast ultra wide-angle lens to capture your Northern Lights images. It’s also a fantastic lens for Milky Way, and it’s considerably more compact and light compared to the Sigma 14mm 1.8 discussed above (1 lb/460 gr vs. the 2.5 lb/1170 gr of the bulky Sigma).
-
- Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM: This is the fastest and most versatile ultra-wide-angle zoom for Northern Lights photography. It’s heavier, bulkier, and more expensive than other Sony lenses, but the possibilities are endless. It’s also the perfect option for shooting Aurora panoramas and time-lapses.
- Sony FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II: Wide-angle scenes, video, time-lapse… this is a very versatile lens to shoot the Northern Lights. I used the previous version of this lens for many years, and it’s also my main pick for other night shootings, like photographing the Milky Way. The GM II is even better than its predecessor, it’s extremely sharp across the entire range with outstanding image quality. To me, it’s the best Sony wide-angle zoom lens for shooting the Northern Lights.
- Sony FE 24mm F/1.4 GM: The 24 mm G Master model is more expensive, but it’s widely considered the best Sony Aurora lens in terms of image quality and performance. It’s also a good lens for filming the Northern Lights using the wide f/1.4 aperture.
Best Nikon lenses for Northern Lights photography
Speaking specifically about the best Nikon lenses for the Northern Lights, apart from the Nikkor Z 20 f/1.8 S you can find:
-
Nikkor Z 14-24 f/2.8: This is the lightest f/2.8 wide-angle zoom lens on the market, and it’s designed to capture the maximum quality in low-light conditions across the entire focal length range. It is also versatile to capture the elusive movements of the Aurora.
- Nikkor Z 24 mm f/1.8 S: Even though 24mm might seem too narrow, this is also a very good lens for Northern Lights. It offers very similar specs as the Nikkor Z 20 f/1.8 but with some extra 4mm.
- Nikkor 14-24 f/2.8G ED: This is the lens I used for years to photograph the Northern Lights. It’s versatile, sharp, and fast. If you’re shooting with a Nikon DSLR, it’s still a great lens, and you can get it at a lower price. However, new lenses offer better functions and results, such as the Sigma 14-24 f/2.8. You can see the Aurora images I’ve taken with this lens in my Northern Lights photography guide.
- Nikkor 24mm f/1.4G ED: The best Nikon DSLR prime lens for shooting the Northern Lights. This lens allows you to use a shorter shutter speed while capturing more light. The difference between f/1.4 and f/2.8 in Northern Lights photography is huge.
Best Canon lens for the Northern Lights
Speaking of the top Canon lenses to shoot the Northern Lights, beyond the Canon RF 15-35 mm f/2.8, both of these primes for Canon DSLR can be a nice addition to your kit:
- Canon EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM: This is probably the best Canon lens for shooting the Northern Lights. It’s wide and fast enough to capture the movement of the Aurora.
- Canon EF Wide-Angle 24mm f/1.4 II USM: It’s not the widest but it is the fastest Canon prime lens to shoot the Aurora and a very good option if you’re a Canon shooter.
What makes a good Northern Lights camera lens?
There are some fundamental things to consider when buying lenses for Northern Lights photography. Some of the most important are:
PRIME VS. ZOOM LENSES FOR NORTHERN LIGHTS
Prime lenses are the best lenses in Northern Lights photography. They offer the highest quality for a specific focal length, and they’re faster than zoom lenses. Also, they’re generally cheaper. Their main disadvantage is that they’re less versatile.
Zoom lenses are more versatile, allowing you to shoot the Aurora at different focal lengths. On the contrary, they are bulkier, heavier, more expensive, and can’t offer the same quality as a good prime lens for a specific focal length.
WIDE-ANGLE FOR NORTHERN LIGHTS VS. MEDIUM & LONG FOCAL LENGTH
Wide-angle lenses are the most popular option for shooting the Northern Lights. Shooting the Northern Lights with these lenses tends to be easier since they can gather more light and they also allow you to capture the entire Northern Lights show when they spread across the sky.
Medium range and long focal lengths are usually aimed at capturing details in the Northern Lights. Using a focal length like 50 mm or longer, you can focus on a specific area where the Northern Lights are “dancing”.
LOW-LIGHT PERFORMANCE - LENS APERTURE FOR NORTHERN LIGHTS
This is the most important feature in a good lens for shooting the Northern Lights. The super short shutter speed and high ISO necessary to shoot the Northern Lights requires using the fastest possible lens. You can shoot the stars using lenses at f/4.5 or even narrower apertures, but you’ll see the best results shooting with lenses at f/2.8 or below.
If you have the chance, my recommendation is to use a f/1.8 lens. This difference is very significant in intense Aurora shows where you might need to take 1-second exposures at night.
COMA IN NORTHERN LIGHTS LENSES
To put it simply, this refers to how blurry your camera’s image are in the corners of the frame when capturing the stars. High-quality lenses with low coma can capture stars as sharp points of light in the entire frame, while low-quality lenses with heavy coma can capture sharp stars in the center but blurry stars in the corners.
Using a large aperture is another key factor in capturing pictures with more coma.
DISTORTION IN LENSES FOR NORTHERN LIGHTS
The wider and lower-quality the lens, the more distortion you’ll see in your Northern Lights shots. This is something to consider when choosing a lens for the Northern Lights, especially if you’re shooting the Aurora over buildings, trees, or similar elements.
VIGNETTING
Conclusion
Choosing the best camera lens for Northern Lights photography is not easy, but it’s critical if you want to capture the best possible images.
Once you have a good camera for shooting the Northern Lights and know the best camera settings in Northern Lights photography, using the right lens will be the key factor in getting a sharp and quality image.
Having the right lens is fundamental for taking the best Aurora images
Some Northern Lights lenses are expensive, so a good tip is to rent a Northern Lights photography lens for your particular trip. This is also a good option for testing a lens before purchasing it. This is something I usually do before my Lofoten Northern Lights photo tours.
In my case, I always rent my Aurora photography lenses with Lensrentals, which operates in the US. Their rentals are cheap and straightforward to process. Besides, if you rent your equipment through this link and use the Lensrental promo code ATLAS15, you will get a 15% discount.
For example, the one-week rental of the Sony 12-24 f/2.8 GM is $93, while the full price of this lens is $2,998.
You can check other camera rental companies near you in our guide to Camera lens rentals.
I hope this article helps you choose the best Northern Lights lens. If you aren’t sure if you can shoot the Aurora with your lens, or if you have any other questions related to Northern Lights gear, feel free to leave a comment below.

PLanning on capturing the Aurora on iceland soon. I use a Canon EOS 5D MKII (old but still great) My lens is EF-24mm – f/1.4 so hopefully it will succeed 🙂
That’s a great gear, Michael! Hope you had a great trip and saw the Aurora 😀
Hi Dan – I’m going to Fairbanks October 2023. I have a full frame canon 5D Mark IV. I am convinced that a wide angle prime lens is what I want. I want to get into ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY after I return home. I have always had reservations about using non canon lens but I am reading good reviews. What do you deem is better ? Manual or auto focus ? And what lens would you recommend for the northern lights and night sky photography ? Thanks in advance.
Robin,
In astrophotography is always recommended to focus manually to the stars, but if you’re going to use also for daylight images, then it’s always better an autofocus lens. I’d recommend you the Sigma 14-24mm f2.8, the Canon 24mm f1.4 or the Sigma 20mm f1.4. They are great for astrophotography.
Happy shooting,
Dan
Great article. I have a Tamron 17-50 f2.8. Would that be pretty good or would it be worth adding a Tokina 11-16 f2.8?
Thanks Colin! The Tamron 17-50 is great! However sometimes we need a wider lens when the aurora is very strong.
Hi Dan,
I have a canon 7D EOS . I have a 16-35 mm 2.8 f will it be okay to take photos of the aurora?
most of my photography is macro so I don’t want to invest in a new lens.
zvia
Zvia,
That would be a good lens and combo for Northern Lights 😉
Hi,
I’m still learning about my dslr but we’re going to see the Northern Lights (hopefully) in February.
I have a Nikon – just a D3300 and I can afford to spend a bit on a new lens.
Which would be better: 30mm f/1.8 or 50mm f/1.8?
And why? Am I looking for higher/lower mm or higher/lower f please?
Thanks.
Hi Lindsay, I’d say it’s better the 30mm lens since you’ll have a wider perspective and sometimes the aurora can be so strong that is on top of your head. So make sure your lens is as wide as possible. 🙂
Hi there, what in your opinion, is the priority – a wide angle lens (I have a Canon 17-55mm f2.8 USM) or the widest aperture (I also have a Canon 50mm f1.2L USM)? Or should I try both out depending on the conditions? Thank you for your help in advance! I am going to Finland in December.
Vicky,
I think it’s better the Canon 17-55mm f2.8 since you’ll have a wider perspective and sometimes the aurora will be all over your head. But if it’s far away, you can try with the other lens.
Hope it helps!
Hey Dan! Thanks for the great article!
I hesitate between the ROKINON 14MM F/2.8 or the Rokinon 14mm T3.1 for my Canon.
Considering price is pretty much the same between these two lenses, what do you think would be the best for northern lights shooting/videoing?
Is the Rokinon 14mm F/2.8 is good for northern lights videos?
What’s the difference between T3.1 and F/2.8? I can’t find a proper answer lol
Thanks a lot!
Hi Victor, I’ve never heard about the Rokinon 14mm T3.1 so I can’t answer. Anyway I don’t think you will notice any difference. The f2.8 for sure will give you good results of the aurora.
Hey,
Can you recommend lens for Canon Eos 250d? I am going in november to Iceland
Ewelina, the Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 is a great lens to photograph the Aurora with your camera.
Good luck!
Dan
Hi Dan,
Could you please suggest setting for My Nikkor 14-24 f/2.8G ED lens for Northern Lights? I am using Nikon D750. I am going to Iceland in last two weeks of March 2022. Amazing content.
Thanks
Jay Shah
I used to have a Nikon D800 + Nikkor 14-24 f/2.8 and it’s a great setup and lens for Northern Lights! I recommend checking my Northern Lights photography guide to learn more about the best settings 😉
Great review. My question is what about Sigma 20mm f/1,4 DG HSM ART lens? It’s possible to use for northern lights? Thank you.
Sure! You can definitely use that sigma lens for Northern Lights. If you use Nikon or Sony I’d recommend the original sony/nikon 20 mm f/1,8 since they are lighter and offer superb quality but the sigma is also a good lens option for Northern Lights 😉
