Thanks, Toine!

I'll look into that one and see if I can find a nice deal. I really would like to have a decent short prime -- one that's better than my Tak 28/2.8. But, if I can't come up with one, I suppose my 18-55 will be fine.

Maybe the old Tokina RMC 17mm f/3.5. If you can find one it should be
very cheap.
I would prefer the DA18-55 II for the best price/performance.

. . . and give me your thoughts.

Say you're going to be leaving for the Black Hills of South Dakota in a
little over a month and have an extremely limited budget. I'm quite
literally saving up the quarters from my tips (along with everything else
that I can) to finance it. But, you want to make sure that you get some
images worthy of the trip.

I'll be taking all of my camera bodies with me -- K-x, K20D, K100D Super --
and plan to use my Promaster 70-300 as a zoom, at least one of my 50mm
primes, and I'd like to have something wider for landscapes. I have a
Takumar 28/2.8, but it's really a pretty crappy lens compared to the others.

What would be the best, most affordable option -- best bang for the lowest
buck -- for the wider landscapes? All I really care about is the focal
length and IQ -- everything else is mere window dressing as far as I'm
concerned. I'm essentially looking for something very common and highly
regarded.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
