Best Wide Angle Lens for shooting Wedding Parties

[zendianah]

Hello.

I would like to purchase new or used a wide angle lens for large wedding parties. I have a Nikon D200. I assume I would need a fast lens, minimal distortion which may not be possible in a wide angle lens. I need to purchase ASAP.. I have another free wedding end of July. This year I am not charging. Next year I'll start. I have told people to hire a PRO. They cant afford it.. I make them sign a contract saying i advised them to hire a pro..

I have a 14mm f/2.8 Nikkor. Great lens, fast, and distortion free. Great lens. Cons: heavy and expensive.

You might want to look at the Nikon 12-24mm.
Alternatively, there is the Tokina 12-24mm, the Sigma 11-18, and the Tamron 10-20mm.
