If you're on a budget, get yourself the 28/2.8 wide angle. Nice field of
view, darned nice contrast and resolution. Runs 'bout US$100 or so.
If you've got more money to spend, I recommend the 24/2.8 wide angle.
A bit "fussier" about perspective (lining things ups so that vertical lines
remain perpendicular), but has *great* perspective and field of view and
darned nice contrast and resolution.
[Side Note: The 24/2.8 has become my "first choice" for a wide angle,
and my 28/2.8 now doesn't get much use.]
If you've got money to burn, there's the "faster" wide angles... 28/2,
24/2, or 21/2... but I can't comment on those cuz I don't have money to
burn. :-((((
Hope that helps...
Regards,
Chris
