There are very few lenses that match this quality and size - though there are cheaper compact lenses, if you're ok with a quality compromise.

Apart from that (& with the caveat that 1.8 would be a nice luxury for Astro, though a far cry from a necessity) 2.8 on a 24 is plenty fast for that focal length & its most common uses, those being Landscape, Architecture, Cityscape, real estate, events etc. A 1.8 would definitely fit the niche need of venue or event photography in extremely dim lit settings, but the 50-75% added size, weight & cost is hard to justify for all but the most demanding aforementioned niche photogs. ..
aperture wheel, focus hold, mf switch, it's a mini g-master style of a lens.

My Samyang 35mm 2.8 is smaller than than this lens but is unusable for video. Anyone who wants to use the 24 for a dual purpose photo/video lens needs to think about AF speed and noise.
EDIT:
Video reviews from Manny Ortiz and some feedback say that the AF is ok for video on the 24mm Samyang for $200 https://www.amazon.com/Rokinon-An...B07FH133Q1
People in this thread keep comparing this lens to other size/speed 24mm lenses. The most direct comparisons are the Samyang above and this larger Tamron https://www.amazon.com/Tamron-24m...B07ZHRFLQ
The tamron is 2.5 inches (64mm) long. 215g and uses a 67mm filter.
The Sony and Samyang use 49mm filters.
The Samyang/Rokinon is 1.46 inches (37mm) long and weighs 93 grams (the mount is plastic).
The Sony is 1.8 inches (45mm) long and weighs 162 grams.
