You may want to consider this lens. Especially if you want to do indoor shots. Scroll down the page & check out the comparisons to the Nikkor 12-24mm. In my opinion, it blows it out of the water in sharpness. This lens will begin shipping in the USA in May.

It's amazing how much sharper the Tokina is than the Nikkor. At the normal (smaller) apertures at which a smart person would shoot this, the differences become much more subtle. These were shot on a tripod, and I even left the Kenko UV filter on the loaned Tokina.
The amazing part is how much sharper the Tokina is everywhere. I wouldn't expect all the corners, near and far, to be so universally better, but they are.
The results were the same at 16mm, so I didn't bother to present them. The one shortcoming of the Tokina is its very limited zoom range: it only goes to 16mm.
