I avoid wide angle lenses by doing sweep panorams in camera with a Sony.

I have a 24 and a 35mm Nikon prime lenses that I do not use as often as I should. I use zooms starting at 18mm and I find that in the majority of the cases 18mm is more than enough.
Just in case and when I need it I use my 12-24 f4 AF-S lens.

I shoot a lot with sigma 12-28mm. Very happy with it and leave it on for walking around.

Nikon 20 or 24....I avoid zooms....just me :)
I agree, all you have to do to get hung up on a prime lens is take a picture with one. Not just you! :-)

I have a Tokina 11-16 which I really like on my D7000
I've been looking at that as a possible addition to my lens collection for my Canon 7D. Do you have any pictures taken with it you could post?

I have the Tokina 11 to 16 2.8 and love it. Many members have this lens and speak highly of it. Great build quality and sharp as a razor. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Lately I've been renting wide-angle lenses from lensrentals.com when I visit Yosemite National Park. Landscape photography mandates good wide-superwide-ultrawide. I also prefer prime lenses over zoom for their edge towards better results. I shoot full-frame, so for me, the best rentals have been Carl Zeiss lenses. They are manual focus, but with wide angle landscape photography this is not much of an issue. The Carl Zeiss 21mm f/2.8 sets the standard against which all others are measured. I have also used the relatively new 15mm f/2.8 with excellent results. If you shoot aps-c format, the Zeiss Touit 12mm is a truly marvelous lens.

Love my 14-24 F2.8. As sharp as primes, but not quite as sharp as the 24mm tilt/shift lens.
Wide angles are not my first choice for landscapes - I usually use a 24-70, in portrait mode, and shoot panorama. Doing this provides a very normal "look" not that foreground huge and close/background tiny and distant look that you get with wide angles. Sometimes that look is desirable, but often it looks disturbing. To each his own.
As a former Contax user, I can say from experience that color correction snd contrast on the Zeiss lenses is excellent, but I find that acuity is a little less than I would expect, given the cost.
I will take my 14-24 over any collection of primes in that focal length range any day. It is that good.
