It depends on what level of IQ you want.

For the best IQ, near comparable FL, cheaper price, I'd suggest the Samyang 14/2.8 and a K28/3.5 which are near the size of that DFA15-35 if you stack them in the bag.

If you can live with poorer edges, some of the older 3rd party 19-35, 20-35mm will work.
As far as I've tried a copy of the FA20-35/4, it might be the best one out there if you can find a good copy (and being small too), but the one I tried was decentered (very good on one side, bad on the other)

That will be the issue with some of these options... the corners and edges will be poorer than a modern design.

I tried the 10-20mm with a kenko 1.5 pz converter.. but wasn't too impressed with it outside of the center. To the point that it gave me the desire to order an Irix 15mm. The first one I got wouldn't focus to infinity. I returned it and ordered from a different vendor. That copy is scheduled to arrive tomorrow.

Which brings me to my next thought... buying new allows one to test before keeping.. to ensure your lens copy is actually fully functional.

I generally loathe primes.. especially manual focus primes.. in this situation it seems optimal (provided I get a decent copy). If I need an 18mm or even 20mm 'view' I can crop (at the expense of resolution which I have plenty to burn on the K-1).
