I have decided to upgrade my Nikon D90 to a D7100 i also plan on buying the 70-200 f4, i could do with some recommendations for a wider zoom lens don't mind 3rd party lenses, budget would be around £500-£600 for the lens.
thanks for any info

There's a sigma 8-16mm in the classifieds

Uncle Ken has a good roundup of the options, they all seem much of a muchness. The Sigma 10-20 I've used a lot and it's fine. You can get one for £200 used. If you're feeling spendy get one of the two Nikons. I doubt the results are much different.

Bear in mind there's an older Nikon 70-210 f4 which is a lovely lens if you don't need VR. Built like a tank, no electronic parts, and you won't lose a penny on it, unlike the AF-S.
