Are there any reasonably-priced wide angle lenses for Nikon DSLRs? I'm interested in taking wide shots, but my budget is not huge.

Perhaps a prime in this focal range? I'll gladly sacrifice zoom if it means I can get something lighter, faster, or cheaper.

Check keh.com for some AF Nikkor lenses. I was thinking of picking up the 20mm 2.8.

A 20mm lens on a Nikon *D*SLR equals 30mm on a film camera, which isn't particularly wide. For impressive wide-angle shots you'd need something like 15mm, which is unfortunately scarce and expensive even if it's old, used and manual focus D:

Look into the Tokina 12-24. It's very close to the $500 more expensive Nikkor in terms of optical and build quality. I think it's $500 new. I would keep it on my camera almost constantly for street shooting, only removing it for portraiture or something.

Otherwise, go for a 20 prime. It's not the widest, but it's a fantastic lens, gotta love handholding at 1/20s with a bright f2.8 aperture for some lowlight shooting, with plenty of good looking motion blur. Mm mm.

for primes the 20mm f1.8 and 24mm f1.8 Sigma's are good (not a "Wide" angle lens) like say the ultra wide zoom's. but they are great versatile lenses, Also the 24mm f1.8 works on Film / full frame camera's aswell, And then it is really wide!

The 20mm prime is a great lens. I use a 24mm Nikkor as my standard lens and it works nicely.

20mm is not wide with 1.5x crop. If you really want wide, get Tokina 12-24mm.

20 * 1.5 = 30. It's still wide, just not superwide.
