Welcome to the forum.
There is not much more to be added, pending information from you on what sort of photographs you expect to take.
Some, such as Clarky, take everything from macro shots of insects to shots of the moon - quite a wide range by anyone's standards

buy the 10-20
I don't even have it
and I love my 10-17
...but I've taken few good landscape shots with it
most are of more abstract shots
vegetation
You cant really decide between the two
If you want a fisheye, you buy the 10-17, if you don't, you buy the sigma.
Don't buy the fisheye with the intention of defishing every photo
just buy the sigma.
Id suggest going to http://pentaxphotogallery.com and looking at the shots taken with the 10-17 by clicking on image data.
Agreed buy the 10-20

Try this thread.

It is really a question of what you want out of the lens.
As I said earlier, the two 'schools of thought' are fairly sharply divided.
For me the DA 10-17 offers far more creative possibilities.

Hi all,
Not sure if this has been covered before. Basically I want a wide angle lens mainly for landscape photography. Does anyone have experience of either lens for this use?
Your help and advice greatly appreciated.
Oh no Hi all,

This subject has been covered extensively with forum members fairly evenly split between the two lenses.
I shall have a look for the links to the previous discussions unless someone else beats me to it.

Some of us live North of you, we dont want children walking to school in the dark. There was an experiment many years ago (1960s I think) which caused an enormous increase in road accidents to children on their way to school. Are the Netherlands now within the circumference of the M25? Quote:

Preparing for an upcoming trip to Brittany, visiting places such as St Malo and Mont St Michel, I'm in that dreadful process of deciding what will and won't go into my Billingham Hadley.
I don't want too much weight for travelling, but don't want to miss out on photo opportunuties either.
This is what I've decided on so far, but comments and suggestions are welcome!
K10D
10-17mm
16-45mm
43mm
50-200mm
3 batteries
Lots of SD cards
Sue will be taking:
K10D
18-55mm
75-300mm
100mm Macro
3 batteries
Lots of SD cards
Being potentially left behind:
12-24mm
24-90mm
50mm f1.4
In fact the three lenses left out could be a viable travel kit in themselves...any thoughts?
Mont St. Michel - I have not been there for years but from memory there are many architectural photo opportunities and therefore I would take the 12 - 24.Preparing for an upcoming trip to Brittany, visiting places such as St Malo and Mont St Michel, I'm in that dreadful process of deciding what will and won't go into my Billingham Hadley.

Have you spotted any insects on the moon yet, bearing in mind that we have established that it is a petrified orange :
