I find a fun prime lens to use for buildings is a 24mm wide. I find it is wide enough to allow for a good range of angles, but not too wide that it starts to distort to a significant point. A nice sharp f2.8 also allows for low light work.
I am the last one to ask about Nikon and the sensor size related factors, so that’s something you will have to look into.
Buy the best you can afford. Settling for a cheap lens is likely frustrate you and push you away from using it – so it’s a waste of $.
Reason i suggested a prime … Zooms are a compromise in quality to allow for convenience, but I’m sure know all this anyway.
Good luck and good shooting,
Paul
Recently, I picked up a refurbished Canon Rebel T1i. I have a variety of lenses: From Canon, 10 – 22 zoom, 17 – 85 zoom, 18 – 200 zoom. I also have a Sigma 150 Macro (LOVE it!), a Tokina 85 – 400 zoom and my absolutely favorite lens for experimenting – Lensbaby Control Freak. My interests are many & varied and I have to most fun when challenging myself with a new technique or in pushing techniques to new areas.
