Not many on the forum appear to have the Pentax 12 -24 but I am sure that is entirely down to the high cost.
There are devoted fans of both the Sigma 10 - 20 and the Pentax 10 - 17 (fisheye) on the forum and the relative merits of these two lenses in particular have been debated extensively.
It really comes down to what you intend to use the lens for.

Assuming that these two photographs are, exactly as taken, with the first one I would crop it right down leaving just the hawk on the post. The background does nothing for the photograph.
With the second one, it is a shame that the extremities of the hawk are missing, I would therefore try a crop on this one as well, possibly also taking out the post whcih is not in focus.

I have just carried out a test and the results for my three batteries (all fully charged) are :-
Original Pentax battery - 8.3
NP-400 equivalent - 8.3v
NP-400 equivalent - 8.3v
I also tested the Pentax battery in a partially discharged state and it was 8.0v.
With marine electronics 12volt items theoretically run at 12.0v but in reality they can 'receive' anything from 11.0v (a heavily discharged battery or batteries) to over 14.0v (when batteries are being charged).

I was visiting Fairlie in connection with work and they showed me over the yacht to demonstrate their skills.
I keep telling myself that the only reason I do not have one these yachts is because they are too large too be handled by just two people

I went to a local resevoir recentley to photograph some birds, when i got ther a near hurricane was blowing and the damn things were bobbing up and down on the waves nothing was in focus, or in shot!!!!!
I went to the coast when the weather was supposed to be windy to get some earth stopping pictures of waves, and I found a millpond!!!!!!
I got ready to capture the lunar eclipse, it was cloudy as hell all night!!!!!
You'd be paranoid too if everything was against you!!!!!!!!!!!
