I also have 1.4 35mm but don't really have anything wide enough apart from a 18mm f2.8.
Can you still use a 18mm 2.8 lens for shooting the milky way

I don't see why not.
May need to up the ISO a bit.

I was looking into this today, I have a 17-55 f2.8. I used a calculator (becasue lazy) and on a crop sensor it says I could do a 20 sec exposure at ISO 3200 (60D). So in the right dark spot, or maybe doing exposure to the right and correcting in post if not, you could get a decent shot.
I've not tried yet though. It all sounds easy in theory but when you're out in the dark trying to find the focus and then see what's going on via the camera display it can be frustrating. So jot down a few settings that should be within limits and make sure you're focussing to infinity. On my 17-55 this is just a smidge before the end of its travel if that makes sense.

Yes.Thank you. If I fail I'll use my RX100 M2 which I will be carrying around as spare.
