Good point. I have no idea. It only occurred to me this past weekend that I
might want something in this range. I've never heard of the Pentax 20mm.
Could someone please post some samples? I checked Pbase and Google but I
couldn't find any examples of anything from this lens. It is attractive if
only because of the size - the Sigma is rather large.

Thanks for the info! The samples from that one look great, but I think he is
actually thinking about getting my Sigma fisheye. :)
