What's the widest closeup lens for Pentax?

I got a bit silly today photographing under a stump with my 8mm. I'm having way too much fun with that lens, I'm afraid. It seems that it could be a lot of fun to have an ultrawide (12mm or so on aps) closeup lens. My sigma 20 would be close to that on full frame, but doesn't have quite the DOF

The widest prime Pentax makes is the 14mm f2.8 the widest zoom is the 12-24mm f4.0. I believe Sigma's 10-20mm is available in K mount Tamron also makes a 10-20mm that isn't available in K mount though it's an open secret that Pentax has a joint development deal with them and Pentax doesn't mark
