[QUOTE="hark, post: 681541, member: 13196"] Hi and welcome to Nikonites. :) Since the wide angle lens you are seeking is for a crop factor body, you will want to start in the 10mm or 12mm range. What I mean by that is zoom lenses that start at either 10mm or 12mm and zoom to out to a longer focal length. Typically on an FX body, the range would start at either 14mm or 18mm. On an FX body, a 35mm lens is somewhat wide, but on a DX body it isn't. That would be closer to a [I][B]normal[/B][/I] lens on DX. The 35mm would be a good lens for you to have at some point, but since you have a limited budget and are looking for wide angle, you might be a little disappointed in the length. I don't have any suggestions to offer but have read many positive comments here about one or two of the Tokina wide angle zoom lenses (the ones that have already been mentioned). The 14mm Rokinon that someone mentioned would also be a good focal length. I'm not sure it is an AF lens although it might have some type of focus confirmation chip in it. Several members also have this lens and like it. Good luck with whatever you choose. :encouragement: [/QUOTE]
