$254 for silver if that type of thing doesn't bother you.
Welp ended up snagging this for my Sony A6k, been meaning to grab an ultra wide and 250$ seemed like a decent deal
I just started looking at it right now actually. Looks like it might be better for sony a6000 too.
Rokinon 12mm
For landscape you'll want something around 18mm and lower. There's this that is worth checking out for landscape.
You can consider a Sony a6000 or a6300 paired with a Rokinon 12mm f/2 or Sigma 16mm f/1.4 depending on your budget. If you need help shopping in Canada give me a shout. I'm in Canada too. Is there a reason you absolutely must buy from Henry's?
You can grab an a6000 open box at bestbuy canada https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/sony-sony-a6000-mirrorless-camera-with-16-50mm-lens-kit-open-box-400100792452/10400986.aspx? for $599.99. the kit lens will work alright for daytime and videos during the day. It's got optical stabilization.
Then you can pick up the rokinon on amazon. https://www.amazon.ca/Rokinon-RK12M-Mount-Cameras-Silver/dp/B00K3T3G9A/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1518734151&sr=8-3&keywords=rokinon+12mm+sony it's the best price in Canada right now I think. $362.85
Or if you really need the autofocus for wide get the sigma https://www.vistek.ca/store/CameraLenses/420671/sigma-contemporary-16mm-f14-dc-dn-lens-for-sony-emount.aspx but it's much more expensive and autofocus is 100% useless for astrophotography.
EDIT: I took these two with a6000 + rokinon 12mm https://i.redd.it/kk8ryiz1gtcz.jpg and this one with a sigma 30mm f/2.8 https://i.redd.it/o3vzv0ler66z.jpg
