I agree. I have the 10-20 and am pleased with it. You can find them used for about what they are asking for the Rokinon.

That's a DX lens...he's using a full frame Nikon D610.

You will limit your photographic possibilities by limiting yourself to one very wide lens.
If it were me I would simply add the 14, that way you could really have a nice range available to you.
My opinion.

Its good, verrrrrry good, and eminently well advised to "limit your photographic possibilities". The more typical hogsters are incapable of it, but each individual wont ever really know for sure if they dont give it a full trial. Not "my opinion".

Hi and all the best for the reunion,
I suggest you are aiming at a mystery, 'mystery' because you haven't had any experience with a 14mm.
You will likely learn that the 14 mm will be most unlikely a lens(focal length) to do the task you are expecting of it - so I suggest you just go out and hire a 14mm of any make to gain some experience of the focal length/angle of view.
I shouldn't need to reiterate others above by suggesting you keep your zoom.

Thanks for input.

If it's only one event, why not lease a wide angle lens and keep your Nikon? Opinions above seem to favor the Nikon as a much better lens. (I'm no expert here...I shoot Olympus M4/3).

I know that, but people are suggesting DX lenses which would be silly on a D610, thus my comment.

I have the Nikon 70-300.
I will never trade. It is an awesome walk around lens.
