Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Widest I have been is the SMC Pentax-A 24-50. It's nowhere near what you have specified but it really is a stunning performer. Meyer Optik Lydith at 30mm is another magnificent performer. Old folding cameras are out because if you go wider than 75mm then all you get is a macro lens. That leaves you with a very very small number of super wide offerings on Ebay. They rarely come up and they are invariably expensive when they do. 20mm Takumars start at about £150 and Flektogons at about £350. There is presently nothing at 10mm (I just looked).
The fellow who would possibly know more about what can be had is LennyBloke - he has a thread on the forum right now about the FA21.
