I have a D90 and have been using the standard 18-105mm lens for a few years and now I want to get more specialised lenses. In particular, I'd like a recommendation on a good wide angle lens for outdoor shots. Assuming there are examples at low, medium and high quality/costs, please let me know which are the mid to high level lenses.
Thanks.

Assuming that you want to add an extra focal length range in the UWA, the Sigma 10-20/3.5 will probly be the best with your current D90 camera. I have been using it on the the D5100 and you may find some examples in the "weekly's best" threads.
Alternately you may check for the Tamron 10-24/3.5-4.5, Nikon 16-80/2.8-4 or Tokina 11-20/2.8.
If it is to have an extra lens in preparing your path to a future fullframe camera, you may want to look for the Nikon 14-24/2.8 or Tamron 15-30/2.8. However these might not give their full benefit with your current camerabody.

I can give a very hearty recommendation to the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8. It may not have as wide a zoom range as some other offerings, but it's the only constant f/2.8 superwide zoom for DX cameras, it's very sharp, solidly built and has a very simple distortion profile (if such things are important to you).
No longer own mine as I went full frame, but I have shots taken with it from my DX time that I remain proud of.
