After much research, I opted for the Sigma 10-22mm f/4-5.6. It's meant for crop cameras (my D60 has a 1.6x focal length crop) so overall, it acts like a 16-32mm, which is just fine by me. So now I'm covered from 16mm to 364mm and my old camera feels important again. Not too shabby.
This lens is built like a tank, tack sharp, smooth, and focuses quickly even on my dinosaur of a SLR crop camera with one focus point activated in low light. :) Doesn't work quite so well on my Mark II as it's not intended for that camera, but it would work just fine in a pinch. Just can't zoom past 12mm or the edge of the lens shows up in the frame...
Since all my other work is primarily shot with a l-o-n-g lens, sometimes even with an extender, this is quite the shock to my style and I guess my brain too. Making me think much differently, but I'm having a BLAST experimenting.
Here's the results so far:
