I have the Tamron 17-50 2.8 on my canon and its SUPER sharp. Pretty sure you can get it with a Nikon mount too.
Nikon D50 Wide Angle?
I was doing some sightseeing in Vienna yesterday and I found myself getting really frustrated. I could never get everything I wanted into the picture. I am shooting with a Nikon D50 with a Nikkor 28-80mm.
Can someone with more camera knowledge than me recommend a decent, and affordable wide angle lens for the D50?
Thank you.

I'd look into some ultrawide angle lenses for your landscape stuff!
Some of the most popular lenses on the market right now are the following:
Nikkor 10-24mm
Tokina 11-16mm F2.8
Sigma 10-20mm
You'll be spending around $600-$800 but it will definitely give you a lot more than what you are currently using. Quality of glass in any of these lenses will also be a huge noticeable difference better than your current lens. If you don't want to spend that much, there are usually a couple floating around used!

I was going to say the Tokina but he didnt specify that he wanted a UWA lens. If that is the route the OP is trying to go though, I would say that Tokina 11-16 is the business.I'd look into some ultrawide angle lenses for your landscape stuff!

I find myself shooting a lot in the cities I visit. Hard to fit a whole church and steeple into one shot, especially when you can only back up 50 feet from the church becasue there are buildings around all sides of it. I don't shoot many landscape type shots, maybe because I don't have a good lens for it.
unless you are wanting the fisheye effect make sure that you stick to the lenses that Mike suggested.
If you want to stick with Nikon lenses they do offer a 17-55 F2.8.

Thank you all for the advice. Camera gear for me is a budget item. I know that you get what you pay for with camera stuff. I might also just consider a different camera. My camera really doesn't like low light, or I don't know how to do it, and it frustrates me.
Not looking for fish eye effect, thank you again!
