Re: Wide Angle manual lenses recommendations
ANY ultra-wide angle is going to be sensitive to "flare"... It isn't specific to a single lens, it's just the nature of the basic front lens element's design for that type of lens. Of course, pointing it at the sun (sunset/sunrise) is going to be an issue... One that many photographers try to take advantage of for those type shots... Flare can be an artistic element...
If I were interested in that type shot, my goto would be my Tokina 11-16mm f2.8... on my D810 full frame. In crop mode... Using Adobe's New Enhance Super Resolution feature...

If you want an ultra wide angle zoom with less lens flare, look at some that aren't f/2.8 lenses. The f/2.8 lenses tend to have more bulbous glass for the front element, and that can lead to more lens flare. However, all lenses can have issues with lens flare when a bright light source is in the image. Some just handle it better than others.
There are a few ultra wide angle zooms available. I think Nikon makes a 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6, but it's an AF-P lens. Not sure how well those lenses would work with your body. But I believe Sigma, Tamron, and Tokina make ultra wide angle zooms for Nikon DX bodies that aren't f/2.8. Just something to consider.Cindy - D750, D500, D7200

Thanks for the reply Cindy. I am now considering waiting and maybe looking at a FF body and a wide angle to suit that(maybe Nikon 18-35). Been looking at the D800/D800e but prices seem to be on the high side at the moment in my opinion.

And that combo would be excellent. If you decide on a Nikon 18-35mm lens, just make sure it is the G lens. Ratings for the previous version list it to be not very good in comparison.
I have the Nikon 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G lens. It's lightweight and very sharp. Although it lacks VR, you really wouldn't need it. Recently I purchased the Nikon 16-35mm to have a slightly wider view for building photos, but if I didn't need that slightly wider focal length, I would have been quite happy with the 18-35mm. Initially I thought about selling the 18-35mm, but for now I've decided to keep it as a backup lens.
At least the options for FX wide angle lenses seem to be of a much better quality than what is available as ultra wide for DX bodies.Cindy - D750, D500, D7200
