I  don't usually comment on car shots (you may have noticed :-)). Not my

Thanks Doug. I do think it's the best choice for ultra-wide on a  
Pentax DSLR.

Good shot, Paul. I do love that lens. It's mounted on my K20D right  
now, scheduled for interior shots of the museum today.

Nice shot Paul.

The DA 12-24 is one of my favourite lens. It's sharp from corner to  
corner

at f4. This lens always has space in my photo-bag :) This lens is also
good for 'portrait' shots even at 12mm (if used correctly). I've  
posted a
portrait of my pentaxian friend earlier (her nickname is  
SilentOkami :P)

and here's an other sample of her shot with DA 12-24 @ 12mm:
http://flickr.com/photos/timbah/3015094347/

and one at 24mm:
http://flickr.com/photos/timbah/3015927916/

but what I really like about this lens is the spot light rendering on
night shots. Here's an example:
