2. sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6D EX DC HSM

3. tokina 12-24mm f/4 AT-X 124AF Pro DX

im looking for something super wide and takes a great quaility pic. suggestions? comments? i just hate to have to go thru bh for this. i like to try the lenses out before i buy them. this will prob be the last lens i buy before i upgrade my camera. so yea.

17mm won't be 'super wide' on a 1.5x crop body. Between the other two, the Tokina is better.

Read the Ken Rockwell review Chris posted. But to summerize if your a baller get the Nikon if your not then get the Tokina and be just as happy.

On the right hand side you'll see the "Equipment Rental" Section.

http://www.allenscamera.com/

But you gotta call or go there and get prices.
