My widest lens is the 18mm of kit lens v. II and that's not wide enough. I feel I can't get enough of landscape and buildings in the picture. Unfortunately I don't think there's a way I could try locally wider options and yet I feel I need to buy something wider. But what's wide enough in your opinion? I know many here for example feel that a Sigma 10-20mm is a better option for them than a Pentax 12-24mm due to the 2mm difference (not suggesting it's miniscule in angle). On the other hand many are just happy with the kit lens's 18mm - or longer like 21mm or even more.

So I'm starting this poll to see what is wide enough for you. Feel free to post reasons why you need that FL and what can't you do with something longer. And rectilinear only, no fisheyes please.
