Yep 180 degrees diagonal. Mine is K-mount and a ton of fun on my K-mount film cameras.

That is the pertinent question! :D

Back in the day, anything wider than 24mm was ultra wide and very few people shot wider than 28mm. Most folk who learned on APS-C are fairly astounded when they see the 28mm FOV in the big bright viewfinder of say, a Pentax ME Super.

So, for the OP the answer is simple...almost any decent 28mm (there are many, many good ones) will work great for landscape and cityscapes/architecture and many interiors. For street work, 35mm is the traditional focal length. If you must go wider, you probably won't need to go less that 20mm.
