(Nikon fit) Wide Angle or Zoom lens recommendation

    I have a Nikon D5100 (so 1.5 crop factor), the kit 18-55mm lens, and a 50mm Nikon lens (1.8 I think).

    I found myself switching to the 18-55 instead of my 50mm because I needed wider angles in my shots. I do some landscape, street and fashion photography, and interior design. Quite interested in indoor low light (aren't we all..).

    So do I go for a wide angle lens, and if so which do I get? Budget is >€600. If there's too much distortion there's not much point in it, don't mind second hand.

    Or do I go for a zoom lens?

    Some lenses that I've researched, like 10-24, might be a bit extreme (I'd need to test them) but if I even got recommendations for decent ones I could work from there.

    When I was shooting on a cropped sensor I really liked my Sigma 10-20.
