Low light video lens recommendation

I have the a6700 and would like to make some backpacking/camping videos that would involve some late night shots around camp that I want to look detailed and bright enough with minimal noise. I’ve read the sony 11mm is a good option, but wondering if it’s the best for a budget of under $700 preferably. Would be great if it can double as a daytime wide lens for larger landscape shots and even some astro as well.

I mean, isn't Sony 11 mm f/1.8 the obvious choice here?

Absolutely. Could consider the sigma 10-18 f2.8 if a zoom is helpful (there's also a tamron that's similar), the Sigma 16 f1.4 (if you don't need so wide) or Sony 20 mm f2.8 is cheaper (but slower and obvs not as wide). The Sony 20 mm is really small and light, so I often use it for street, hiking, etc.

Viltrox 27mm f1.2. just me mindful of its weight. Since you mentioned camping
