what photo do you want to take at night?
portrait?
landscape?
moon?
star?
insect?
people doing something in public which they are suppose to do in private?
ghost? :bsmilie:

different photo need different lense

maybe you need to be more clear on what type of night shots you're more interested in?

a f2.8 will be good for GP

There is no "ideal lens" for nightshots, as everyone has different needs.

If you're talking about the basic nighttime cityscapes that we see a lot, your kit lens and a tripod is all you need.

landscape? - 12-24mm + tripod
why only 12 mm? got 9 mm and 7 mm also .. and tripod or monopod or beanbag or table

moon? -telescope to kit lens + tripod
go to science ctr when they open their telescope to the public. compact camera is OK (easier to use). Moon is actually very bright.

star? - 1 star 30000mm telescope, many stars, kit lens + tripod
get to know people from singastro.org

insect? -105mm macro + tripod
what happen to the flash? Must need flash like ring flash!

people doing something in public which they are suppose to do in private? 500mm f/4 + tripod
Depends.. prime lense say 30mm to 50mm with strong flash, strong leg to run and a friend stand by with motorbike to make a quick exit also can.
If the pants is down, it is hard to run (give chase).

ghost? - graveyard + guts lens + lucky camera + ghost:bsmilie:
infrared mod + infrared illuminator (must make - cannot be sold in singapore) + get to know people from www.spi.com.sg
 

canon 0.95 . :devil:
