What wide angle for both D200 and Full Frame

[Peter]

Hi

I have a D200 but have decided whatever extra lenses I buy must be suitable for my long term ambition of a full frame Nikon. I'm looking to buy a prime wide angle ideally f2.8 or faster.

Any suggestions based on experience welcome.

I should add I'm looking to buy Nikon and secondhand

Thks

Nikkor AF 14mm f/2.8 D ED..
Can be use in both D200 and Full Frame

Or Sigma 12-24mm F4.5/5.6
Or Nikon 14-24mm F2.8

I've got a Sigma 12-24 (after 3 attempts to find one that isn't decentered) and that seems very good.

The Nikon 14-24 is an amazing lens, but pricey and perhaps not that useful due to its filter limitations and size.

The Nikkor 17-35 f/2.8 is excellent, but on crop, 17mm is hardly wide at all.

The Tokina 12-24 and Nikkor 12-24 give decent full frame coverage from 18mm to 24mm.
