New to "serious" photography and Nikonites....looking for wide-angle recommendations.
after years of faking photography with a cell phone camera, i bought myself a "serious" camera...before a scheduled family trip to the UK this may. i am in the process of teaching myself how to use it.
anyway, I bought the camera, a primary lens, and a zoom lens as a package from Beach camera. the last time i was in Europe, 14 years ago (2 years BC--"before children") was before i had a digital camera, but i remember having trouble getting all of a subject into a shot--a lot of the impressive buildings are large and the squares and streets are narrow. it seems like i need a wide-angle, but that is far as my knowledge goes. i have no idea what to look for and every lens has a bunch of numbers and letters and i don't know one thing or another. so, what would be a good wide angle lens that isn't super complicated and expensive for general use--buildings, landscapes, street scenes, etc.
thanks,
jim
