I use the 14mm Sigma f/2.8 for landscapes with my D200. As a prime lens it beats all zooms hands down on sharpness at it's focal length (21mm). The extra stop or 2 comes in very handy for either shorter depth of field or faster shutter speeds for handheld shots - or both. It's not a fisheye and is excellent at keeping horizons straight (as in 'not curved'),
