Well those the first two reviews are enough to give me pause about the
Tokina
Not really sharp at any aperture
followed by a glowing review, bodes ill for extreme sample variation.
It's not in production and you'd be buying used in any case so the try
and return until you get a good copy is problematic.
The Tamron seems to suffer from thee same extreme sample variation and
it's getting progressively more difficult to find adaptall K mount
adapters, let alone KA adapters the latter alone can end up costing more
than a good lens.

If you don't mind a little more size and weight, the new Sigma 18-35mm
f/1.8 looks like it might be a good replacement for wide primes in
terms of image quality and speed (actually it's faster than any primes
I know of in the shorter end of its range). It's not cheap but
neither are those lenses on KEH.
Thanks, Bryan. They’re all out of my price range.
Just a thought; how about the Tokina SL 17mm f/3.5

or Tamron adaptall SP 17mm f/3.5
