something to allow me to get wider and better quality shots than the 18-55mm WR kit lens really.
ideally the pentax 12-24mm f4 or the sigma 10-20mm, but open to all suggestions...

I've just ordered from SRS the 10-20 Sigma EX DC HSM f3.5 - it's on sale at the mo. A steal for the price. I can also recc the Pentax 14mm DA - very nice glass.something to allow me to get wider and better quality shots than the 18-55mm WR kit lens really.

For a cheaper option you could look at the Zenitar 16mm f2.8 fisheye. I have one and I am really pleased. Got mine on ebay shipped from Russia.

I took this with a 15mm full-frame Sigma fisheye. I "un-fished" it in PTLens.
I am looking to sell the lens - it's a Sigma EX 15mm f2.8 Fisheye. Note, it's not the DX version so is full frame. I'd be interested if anyone had any idea how much it was worth - it's in pretty much mint condition, with padded case and boxed.

I am considering to part with my sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6. PM me if you are interested. optically perfect, only minor wears around barrel, always used with a UV filter, original box, bag and caps..

This is the only one I have on Photobucket. I was playing around with my first hdr. The Zenitar doesn't look that extreme on this shot but compared to my 18-55mm kit lens there is a big difference. The lens is available for £125 new on ebay.
Oh it is very slightly cropped as well.
