Nikon wide angle lense advice needed!

[Seahorse]

I'm going to Chicago in June and would like to buy me a wide angle VR lense to take along with my D200. Need advice please! Thanks

there's an 18-55mm VR lens which is basically the 18-55mm DX II kit lens with VR. it's a sharp lens and is pretty wide. and for under $200, it's a STEAL

also, there is a 16-85mm VR but I don't know much about it other than it costs a few hundred $$ more than the lens above

you won't find very many wide angle VR lenses....VR is normally reserved for zooms

I have the Sigma 10-20 which I use on my Nikon D40, I don't miss having VR on it. Check out the flickr group to see what this lens can do: http://www.flickr.com/groups/388278@N23/

It's not VR but he 17-55 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/300490-USA/Nikon_2147_17_55mm_f_2_8G_ED_IF_AF_S.html is a good choice.

You don't need VR with a 10mm or 12mm lens.

Look at the Sigma 10-20 and Nikon 12-24. Those are the only two wide angle zooms i'd consider myself.

I use the Sigma 10-20 as well on my D200. It's a great little lens! It is around $500 though.

And VR on a wide angle??? Why would you need that?
