Hi Yvonne!
What's your budget?
There are the Nikkor AF-S 10-24mm/3.5-4.5 DX (€780,-), Tokina 11-16mm/2.8 DX (€650,-), Tokina 12-24mm/4 DX II (€560,-), Sigma 10-20mm/4-5.6 (€500,-) or Tamron 10-20/3.5-4.5 (€450,-) to choose from...
The Tokina 11-16mm/2.8 DX stands out, because it has the biggest aperture and is the most solid build one. (you know what aperture means?)
That would be my choice.

Hi Yvonne,
As Marc says, those are good examples.
However keep in mind that whatever lens you buy, the lens should always have an AF motor built in. Without that it will not be able to use the AF as your camera does not have that AF motor itself.
The prices Marc shows are quite high however.
Have a look at this webshop
