I recently purchased a Nikon D750 and paired it with the Nikon 28-300mm lens. So far I love the camera and lens and it will be a great travel setup. However, what do you think the best option for a wide angle lens for travel would be? I am seriously eyeballing a Nikon 20mm f1.8G. Is 20mm wide enough or should I go wider?

I will be shooting streets, people, landscapes and inside of churches on our next trip.
 
My favorite and most used lens is an 18-200mm. Little short for animals but for mot things everything I need is there. I don't think I'm good enough to make a fixed lens work for me.

This would be in addition to my current 28-300mm lens. I plan on travelling to Europe again this fall and want to carry as little as possible, but I don't want to hamstring myself.
 
Is the 28-300 a full-frame lens or is it designed for the crop sensors? if it's a crop lens, the D750 will automatically (unless options changed) change to crop mode and you'll lose the wide end. 20mm should be wide enough, on full frame, for most things. My walk-around is the 24-70 and it's fine for what I do. If I want wider, at this point, I just shoot a pano and merge in LR.

It is a full frame lens, so no crop mode. I was looking at some of the photos I took last year in Italy with my Canon T7i and the majority were taken with the 18-135mm. Probably less than 20% of the photos were taken with the 10-18mm(16-28.8mm with the crop factor). I am also looking to have a lens for some night time photos also.

I really haven't used LR yet and I forgot about merging photos together. I could take my 50mm 1.8G and use it for nighttime and just merge pics if needed.
