Although I have not used one myself (yet), I've recently started researching that same focal range in hopes of getting one also. What's caught my eye so far is the Nikkor 10-20mm AF-P (I love my 70-300mm AF-P!) and the Tamron SP AF 10-24mm. Both seem to have gotten good reviews, and the price - especially used - seems quite reasonable.
There are plenty of other members here who have much more experience than I, so hopefully they'll be able to give you advice based on actual experience.
One of our former mods who passed a while back, Don Kunkendall, swore by the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 lens.
Here is a thread where a member asked about either a Nikon 10-24mm f/4 or a Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8. https://nikonites.com/wide-angle/23797-nikkor-10-24-tokina-11-16-a.html#axzz6wpZWwcIg
Any lens with a somewhat bulbous front element might experience more issues with lens flare simply due to the roundness of the front glass. That seems to be the biggest concern, yet many people said it wasn't a problem. Since I tried out a Nikon 10-24mm f/4 but wasn't happy with its sharpness or contrast - plus it had a warm color cast to it - I'd suggest not even considering it.
You can search through some of Don's posts about the Tokina. He liked it so much that when he upgraded to a D750, he purchased the Tokina 16-28mm f/2.8 for FX. https://nikonites.com/search.php?searchid=8206739#axzz6wpZWwcIg
I think it was Blues man, sorry if I spelt it wrong. suggested that 14mm is too wide and said that 20mm is the way to go. I was looking at the wide lens area before I posted that.
Thanks so far. I have the tamron xr di II sp 17-50mm 1:2.8 (if) Can I get by with this one? Or get a dedicated wide lens. I want to get into landscapes as well that's why
I also have been looking at obtaining a DX lens in this focal range, but the lack of AF/MF switch on the Nikkor 10-20 somewhat puts me of this one.
If I can't do a Macro without a tripod, how can you do a pano without one. esp a stitch ? I meant real macro = real pano. Different scale . I think I will wait for more opinions to weigh in. And consider this closed on Sunday. Thanks for everyone's input
