APSC and lenses (quick question) I’ve been using my a6300 for a while now and generally understand the lens situation for apsc and full frame but I am a bit confused about one of my lenses.

Lens Question/Opinion I have a Canon EOS RP & I’m looking for a lens to get me back into astrophotography and landscape as well.
