Wide angle recommendations

[CarMac]

What would people recommend for a wide angle lens for a Nikon D50?

Budget of £120 maximum. Was thinking of something possibly like a 10-20mm.

Any ideas?

Sorry i can't help but this seems like the appropiate thread to ask one of my questions, if you dont mind of course

What does the mm actually mean? like my camera ha 24 going up to 140 and says equiv. 135


Now what on earth does this mean, i am 16 and im really keen to get a digital Slr but im not making the jump yet =P

Thanks and good luck with your lens

Sigma 10-20 is OK... others say it's good, but IMHO it's a bit soft at the edges. Well worth a look though as it's cheap as chips.

As for 'what is' James,... check out:

I love my 10-20 but you wont get one for £120 I'm afraid. Not sure what wide stuff you will get at that price except maybe an old second hand prime lens from ebay.

Knew I'd be struggling for something within my budget. Oh well, something else for the 'save up for' list.

Not got anything else you need to sell to me?!

I am also looking for a small zoom for my D50 after dropping my 18-55mm this weekend. Did you come across anything good?

cheers
