Wide Angle Lenses
I own a D90 and have been using a 18-105mm Nikkor lens for the past year. It has been a great all rounder, which has served its purpose well during my travels. However I've been thinking about getting myself a wide angle to broaden my horizons a little.
I do a lot of traveling so most of my photography has been nature and landscape related, but I often feel like my photos are lacking something. And being the mass consumer that I am, I feel like a new lens will fix that
I've been trawling thought the NIkon website trying to work out what would be my best option the there are quite a few lenses to choose from. There's too many options. e.g. 35mm, 50mm, 17-35mm, FX, DX etc etc.
Is anyone able to shed some light on what I should be looking for?
Thanks a bunch!

Thus a 50mm lens will have a field of view (FOV) of a 75mm lens has on a full frame (FX) camera. That said, your 18-105 has an equilvilent FOV of a 27mm lens on it's wide end. If you are looking to go wider, look for lenses starting at less than 18mm...Be advised that the wider you go, the more expensive these lenses get. You can lessen the $$$ layout somewhat by opting for a 3rd party lens...Hope this helps...
But if you are shooting wildlife from any distance, you will need a telephoto or telephoto zoom (at least 300mm). Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.
