What about the 16-45? There's one on sale for about $125 USD so I was thinking about getting it.
In all honesty as long as it's better than my kit lens I'll be okay lol

Do you guys think that $424 USD is a decent price for the sigma 10-20mm?

Alrighty, well I think I'll either try to hunt down a used 12-24mm, and if I can't find one then I'll grab the sigma
Also, any specific reason why lenses for Pentax are so much more expensive? It's really frustrating. A Sigma 10-20 for a canon EF mount is only $375 CAD, while the ones for a Pentax mount are $600+

I've checked out the Sigma 8-16mm a few days ago (along with the 16-35mm) but sadly both are out of my price range (8-16 being $900 CAD, and the 16-35 at $1300)
Do you guys have any recommendations for a 16-? zoom lens for around $400 CAD maybe?

I was looking at the 12-24 when I first started doing research. Really liked it but sadly just a little too much money for me atm.
How do you guys think the Pentax would fair just as more of a walk around lens? So like taking pictures while walking in the forest or city.

Hey guys! Just joined today, so sorry if this is in the wrong section.
Anyways, I need to pick a lens today if I want it to arrive before I go.
I've been stressing like mad trying to pick a decent wide angle lens.
I've narrowed it down to either the Sigma 10-20mm or the Pentax 10-17mm.
From the reviews I've read, both of their corners are soft and not very sharp.
I like the fact that the Pentax get's a less fish-eye effect as you zoom, but I'd really like that extra 2mm that the sigma has
So, please weigh in on this. If you have either lens please post some of the pictures you've taken with it, and share your experience.
If you also have any suggestions please feel free to comment. Don't really want to spend more than $450 CAD
I'd mainly be using the lens for landscapes.
Thanks!
