Wide angle decision

Ok folks I am going to seriously start looking into
getting a wide angle lens. So far I have narrowed it
down to the Sigma 10-20 or the 10.5mm Nikkor fish eye.
The Fish eye is a F2.8. There is also the Tokina 10-17
(which I have not actually seen for sale anywhere)
lens.

Decisions... desicions. I guess I would probably use
the wide Zoom more than the 10.5 fisheye.

Any thoughts will be appreciated.

Thanks.

These lenses will produce 2 difrent looks. Fisheye the very curved look and wide angle more like our eyes see. Also look at the Tokina 12-24, and Tamron 11-18. There all fine lenses.

I have heard good things about the Tokina. Fisheye distortion can be fixed with software I believe. People who own the 10.5 Nikko seem to like it....god why are decisions this difficult.

Have used both. My choice would be the Sigma 10-20. The fisheye was fun to play with, and you can get some cool effects, but at the end of the day I would be using the 10-20 much more.

It depends on what type of photography you do

I do concerts, and portraits that use the fisheye effect as an advantage.

Landscape photographers would prefer a wide-angle.
