I am looking for a wide angle lens for my nikon d70. I am looking to use it in creative wedding, portriat and landscape photography. Any suggestion, pics and info would help!!
 
There are a lot to choose from out there. Tokina 11-16 f/2.8, Sigma 10-20 f/4-5.6 or the 3.5 constant aperture version, Nikon 10-24 f/3.5-4.5, Nikon 12-24 f/4, Tamron 10-24 f/3.5-4.5, just to start.. you can even get into prime lenses as well.
 
Those that I mentioned above are more ultra wides. The 18-55 kit lens is pretty wide.
 
I currently do not have any wide anlge lenses, this will be my first. I have nikkor standard lens (came with) and tele zoom lens. Cost wise I am looking at tokina or sigma cannot afford nikkor at this time...I am thinking I have it narrowed down to from reserching ti Tokina 11-16 f/2.8, Sigma 10-20 f/4-5.6. I think speed and image quality are my top priorities so I am leaning toward the f/2.8, is the extra mm really needed? or is there another option I should be considering and have missed? THanks!
 
The Tokina is an awesome lens. Built better than the Sigma and of course has the 2.8 aperture. I had the Sigma 10-20 f/4-5.6. It was really wide but the variable aperture made me sell it because I like to hand hold a lot and use available light.
 
I have the Tokina and love it...it is super sharp.
 
Check the specs. You may find a 11mm in one brand has a wider FOV than a 10mm in another brand.
 
I have the F4 tokina 12-24 and i really like it. Since you have the d70 and iso is kinda poor on it, i would recommend getting a 2.8 since it will gives you a few more stops of light.
