Also look at the Sigma 12-24mm. Usually overlooked but I went from the Pentax 12-24mm to the Sigma (mainly due to usage, the Sigma was a lot cheaper and made more sense as I rarely used UW).
I have to say it's an excellent lens and also has the benefit of being FF compatible so when Pentax release their FF body in 2025 you will have an extremely wide lens.

Thanks Jules, that`s quite helpful. cant image you got all of these. the
only thing bothers me is 82mm diameter of sigma 10-20 F3.5. i got a progrey filter holder system and can be work with 77mm polarizer.if i turn to 82mm, the 82mm polarizer must be another big cost. DA12-24 in uk is really expensive, maybe i should asked my friend buy one from Japan or Hongkong.

Hard to go wrong really!
I have had them all! (no surprise!)
If you want staggeringly wide Go sigma 8-16mm
Want cheap and use filters go Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6
Want a bit faster go Sigma 10-20mm F3.5
Want the best?
Go Pentax 12-24mm F4, it is the best corrected (optically) of them all.
What CA there is, is very easily corrected and from my point of view as a Landscape shooter it is the sharpest across the frame with the least distortion of all those I have mentioned.
They are all very good and your spoilt for choice...
Just pick the one that suits your budget and be happy!

Thanks, Andrewa. i had a da 16-50 and always found 16mm is not enough for wide view.it`s a good idea to start with 10-20 F4-5.6. it`s much cheaper.

The Sigma 10-20 f4-5.6 is one of my favourite all time lenses, and I understand from the reviews that the f3.5 version is an improvement.
What I would add is that I have been really very impressed with the Pentax 12-24 although I have yet to really test it out completely. The constant f4 is a bonus but you will have to pay more for this than for the Sigma.
If I were you I would be tempted to do what many of us have, start with a used Sigma 10-20 f4-5.6 and then if wide angle is for you then you can always upgrade.
Hope this helps,
