Thought I would reawake this topic again

I'm about to pull the trigger and buy this lense but can anyone recommend a camera to pair this with for astrophotography: 

 

sigma 14mm f/1.4 DG DN

 

Thanks all

Though the Sony A7 is famous for "star-eaters", it's still value for money and can be modified for astro:
