These are both excellent suggestions that I'd agree with as well.
The great thing about the fisheye is it renders images (including the colors) almost as good as the DA15. And the 10-17mm zoom allows you to vary the amount of fisheye distortion, to where it's minimal at 17mm. Also, you can hide most of the distortion in landscapes (so that people generally won't notice it) if you're willing to put the horizon right in the middle of the frame. Plus it's too much fun at times. As much as I liked my DA15, I actually sold it, secure in knowing I still had my DA10-17 (someday I may get another DA15, but I'm OK for now).
The only problem with the Sigma 24 was I didn't like its IQ between f/2.8 and f/4 - where I usually shoot. Both copies I had were unsatisfactory here - I'm afraid this is normal for this lens. This was a shame, because it seemed like an ideal choice on paper. So for me the FA*24 was the right lens. I used to think of it as a bit too expensive; now that I own one and see how it performs for me, I think of it as being a quite reasonably priced lens (and it's my cheapest * lens, in fact).
