Christopher,
When I was shooting with Nikon and Sony 1.52x cropped sensor Cameras back in the day, the widest lens I ever used with them was a Voigtlander 40mm f2.0 Ultron. I was just never into the extra Wide angle lens look or the distortion that came with them. I know some people think some distortion gives their images "Character" and there's nothing wrong with that.
I just prefer lenses with as little distortion as possible at the widest aperture possible.
