you are using FF or crop? What brand of camera you are using? I suppose you are on crop since you suggested 11-16mm?
For landscape, 11-16mm is a capable lens. Not sure your "shoot indoor" refers to. Group photos or shoot interiors of the home (ie, furniture, decoration and decor) or architecture?
Depending on your need, a normal UWA can be good enough, if it's for interior or architecture, some may recommend you tilt-shift, but this is a very specialized lens, maybe not so suitable for a newbie.
A quick search on CS...

danskie76 said:Hi Rashkae, i saw that tread, but it doesn't offer much except it reaffirms 11-16 and the other lens being 8-16mm Sigma, just want to find out if there is another alternative? I tried looking at the gallery that was shot by WA or UWA, so just need another opinion before going to get this lens before my travel.

Using D2X and a D90 as a backup. Shooting indoor as in shooting in a house that needs to show space within a compound area and in a cave with high ceiling to show the object to space ratio? ANy recommendation on the UWA besides the 11-16 lens?

Sigma 10-20 and nikkor 10-24
Have you shoot any landscape in sg yet? If you do, you probably will know which suit you better when travel oversea.
I shot in film before, and now i am using 18-55mm kit lens that come with the D90. My film was F80 with 24-70mm Sigma and now i am thinking of getting a wider one for landscape.
Tokina 11-16mm should serve you well... actually for around S$7XX, you could also get a Tokina 12-24mm which is a fabulous piece of glass. I have one and loved it to bits. Currently being one of my sharpest lens around, might not be as wide as the 11-16mm, but I find 12-24mm range much better for my style of photogaphy and I sometime do not even change lenses and uses it as my workaround lens.
Hi Rhino
Thanks! I will go check out and rent it 12-24mm lens. Nikon lens or Sigma? i believe i saw a sigma lens at 12-24mm. I am scourging the internet and google to compare quality on these WA lens.
Hi
Need some recommendation on an UWA or WA lens for landscape shot or indoor shooting? I am looking at the Tokina ATX 11-16mm f2.8, does anyone has any recommendation?
Thanks!
Tokina 11-16 is a good lens. My go to lens when I was still on cropped sensor cam body. And no... I do not find the zoom range restrictive. And yes, I really dig the F2.8 max aperture. I am already on my 2nd copy of the lens. finally have to let this go again.
In the end, a lens is only a tool. How you make use of it to get the pictures you want, is pretty much up to you.
Following all shot with Tokina 11-16.

JuzaPhoto - Sigma, Canon, Tamron and Tokina APS-C Wide-Angles, a simple comparison. Though it does not include Nikon's offering and 12mm UWAs, I still find it useful to compare popular third party UWAs.
Or u can read their reviews (more scientific) here: All Tests / Reviews, Photography Equipment Reviews and google.
