With the K-1 out there, price of FF wide angle lenses are getting sky high. The best options so far for the K-1 are the Pentax FA 20-35mm and the pricey 15-30mm. But there are other alternatives, better than the Sigmas and Tamrons 17-35mm, the Tokina 20-35mm. It's small, built like a tank and...sharp!
It's sharp already wide open, only the angles are lagging behind. Close the diafragm to F8 to get fantastic results. Only problem I see is the CA's, those are big. Use a lens hood and stop down to get better results. Colors are splendid, specially greens and blues.
If you find one do not hesitate, the Pentax 20-35mm is a bit better but will cost you double. :hmm:

I bought this lens while waiting to buy the Tamron 90mm macro. What I didn't know is that I was going to fall in love with this lens. A serious performer, shots where above my expectations, fantastic colors, incredibly sharp, focus ring smooth....and on top, small and light so you can carry an excellent macro always with you.
I don't know why I sold it (well yes, I needed the money to buy the Tammy), but if I can, I'll get another copy of this cheap but amazing macro lens.
