EDIT: I know it's been a long time coming, but I promised you it would be worth it
NOW LIVE:
Ultra Wide Angle 4-Lens Showdown
In the spirit of transparency and expectation management, just wanted to announce that a new review has gotten the green light (although don't hold your breath - the final publication is going to be a while because of how much there is involved in this review). It's one that Adam and I have talked about for quite some time, and now it's really happening
That, and for all of you who have no intention of upgrading to the K-1 full frame, we also wanted to reaffirm that PF's commitment remains to everything Pentax and Ricoh - including APS-C.
The intent behind this review was to compare once and for all the 4 widest lenses currently available for K mount (for the APS-C sized sensor)*. Two from the Rectilinear side (one prime, one zoom), and two from the Fisheye side (one prime, one zoom).
For those with extensive UWA experience, anything specific you'd like to see attention brought to? Right now I have my sights set on flare, field of view (indoors and out), starbursts, close focus and bokeh, and astrophotography (this one will be tricky - I live in a pretty heavily light polluted area, and that doesn't negate how we seem to have had some perpetual cloud cover at night).
So if you could only choose one, which would you select?

*Yes, there is the Sigma 4.5mm Fisheye, however it's so incredibly niche as a circular fisheye (the other two are diagonal) that it didn't warrant inclusion.
