Nikon 14-24 F2.8 or bust, for drains and cranes anyway. My Nikon 28-300 is a great all around lens too, but it's more for natural light type stuff. I really need to stop being a cheap-ass and pick up the 24-70 f2.8 one of these days though. And a 85 1.4 as well, those things are hot ;D

I own a Pentax K30
Pentax has really good lens, especially their limited primes. But it does not offer as wide of a lens selection as Nikon or Canon. This is where Sigma came in handy for me.
Although it is not always the best overall lens to use, I really love using my Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 . It is not a fast lens, but since i tend to use a tripod most of the time this is a non-issue for me. It has a ridiculously wide field of view with minimal distortion. Perfect for caving, tight areas such as bunkers or just fit an entire room inside the frame.
My pentax 18-135mm is my work horse, and i also have several fast primes for special occasions.

Ive been using the Canon 10-20mm wide angle for most of my shots. I wish it gave you more than 3.5, but it does the job. I just recently picked up the nifty fifty 1.8 by canon. For the price, you cant beat em!

Nikon 35mm 1.8ED G (quite a mouthful) on my D750 is pretty much my go to. I'd love a nice ultra-wide prime though, something like a 20mm maybe or a 16mm. However, those cost and arm and a leg...and probably your other limbs too.
I'm out there, Jerry and I'm loving every minute of it.

I love the nikon 24mm PCE lens and I really want the 19mm
Kabbalah is an undramatic tradition that requires great patience and stability. One of the reasons for this tempo is that everyone has to mature his potential gradually and thoroughly at his natural pace. In this way his life's work unfolds at the right moment in his own and the cosmos's time. Z.B.S. Halevi -- Kabbalah

I'm going to cast another vote for the Tokina 11-16. Absolutely gorgeous to shoot with. Just wish I owned one of my own so I didn't have to borrow it every time

Tamron 17-55 for walkaround Sigma 30 1.4 art for inside prime Canon 85 1.8 for outside prime Wide: I got rid of the Canon 10-18mm. Great lens, super quiet, light and cheap but for inside shots (real-estate and UE) you'll get green ghosts of lights or windows repeated in dark rooms. Using a Craigslist Sigma 10-20 as a replacement. Just as sharp, no green reflections. But heavy.
