Alex, unless you are particularly flush with cash, I urge you to try an ultra-wide angle before committing yourself (unless you've already done so, of course). It's a very specialised tool and an expensive paper-weight if you don't use it regularly.
Having seen some dramatic wide-angle landscapes, for years I coveted a Sigma 10-20 and was fortunate enough (though the kindness of another Forum member)to have the use of one for a morning.
It may be exactly what you want, but I was cured after a dozen shots: the distortion and extreme perspective have to be seen to be believed.
I guess a lot of research will be needed.

I am looking for one of these:
Pentax DA 10-17
Pentax DA 12-24
Sigma 8-16
Sigma 10-20
or even Pentax 14 or 15.
Will gratefully listen to your offers.
