I'm looking for a super-wide lens for my K-7. I shoot restaurant interiors, both the front and backs of the house (dining areas and kitchens, in normal people language).
I value fast lenses because restaurants can be very dark. But I can't have a lens that makes people at the edges look like a CGI monster out of "Megashark vs. Giant Octopus".
I'm deciding between the DA14, the DA15 and the 12-24mm. I've read every thread I can find on these lenses. My concern with the 15 and 12-24mm is speed, or rather lack of it. My concern with the 14 is the "weird distortion".
Questions for Gurus:
Will the "lens correction" feature of the K-7 fix the DA14's distortion?
Has anyone shot a lot of available light interiors with any of them? Examples?
Back in my Canon days, I had the Tokina 11-16mm...but let's not talk about that.
What would you choose and why for this assignment? Speed or sharpness or low-distortion?
Thanks!

PPS: Though none of it was taken on the K-7. I just shot my first assignment for that last weekend, so it won't be up on flickr until the magazine comes out in the Spring.
