Wide angle for Pentax digital: advice and availability?

I decided to buy the 10-17mm fisheye. I know, it is not as useful as the 10-20 Sigma or the 12-24 Pentax, but ...
I ordered it yesterday from Park Camera at £299.00 and it was delivered today! I'll see how I get on with it: I may decide that I don't need the rectilinear wideangle for the moment or I may decide to buy the Sigma, when it will be available again. As someone pointed out, I can get both lenses for not much more cost that the 12-24 Pentax....
I will post some samples photos very soon: meanwhile many,many thanks for your help.

If you keep the horizon across the centre of the frame and are careful of what's in the foreground you can minimise the fisheye effect with the 10-17.

Why, I cannot say. It was actually our esteemed friend McBrian who sold it. Must have been in the sun too long, I suspect. (McB, not the lens.)George Lazarette wrote:
