Yeah, I really like their projection on the 8mm. Its probably one of
the best projections out there. The 10-20 I used was indeed the
variable aperture one. Compared to my 12-24, there's just no contest.

I'm not a big fan of the sigma WA zooms. The edges on the 10-20 aren't
great IMO.

The edges aren't that bad on the Sigma 10-20/3.5, they are better than
the Sigma 14/2.8 and the old Pentax A15/3.5. At 10mm wide open it's a
soft right at the extremes but generally if it needs to be used wide
open then light is poor anyhow and the image doesn't suffer for the
lack of edge
Hm, maybe I had a bad copy, but my Sigma 10-20 gave me so many just not
sharp pictures. Now I have the 8-16mm, and it is so nice, sharp, and
8mm is so much more than 10mm when looking for extremes...

Its possible the copy I used was bad. The edges looks awful. My Pentax
12-24 is razor sharp across the frame at f11. I have no need to go
wider or faster.

I think my 15 mm is wide enough for me, though this lens is impressive.

The problem with their lenses is really build quality. They have
really good optics, no doubt about that (especially for the cost), but
if you look at lensrentals repair list they are all at the top. If
they started making nice metal bodied primes, a lot more people would
take them more seriously.
Might depend on which Sigma 10-20 you had. There are two versions. I
think the f/4-f/5.6 version is supposed to be a (teeny-tiny) little bit
sharper than the constant aperture f/3.5 version.

I have their 8mm, it's actually a nice optic, it's not strictly
fish-eye either. It's has a stereographic projection which translates
to less objectionable distortion in the corners than a regular
fish-eye and when used to shoot multi-image panos a better stitch.

f2.8 @ 10mm doesn't come lightly. 1.5lbs really isn't all that heavy
though. I'm very intrigued by this lens!

Nano-shmano..., - says a professor in nano-materials.
Those are not red bands, but just very small (micro-? nano-?) red turbans.
That's a secret sign of the descendants of Red Turban troops stuck
in Korea since 1360.
They might have some emissaries embedded in Ricoh.

The pic looks like it is M mount and not A. Alas.

It looks like they are releasing it in 10 different mounts, what's the
problem?

All their lenses are A mount IIRC. I wouldn't worry too much.

Check out the family resemblance between the DA*55/1.4 and this Samyang.
Pay particular attention to the cover on the focus ring.

It's being listed as a KaF. The mount shown in the picture is a Nikon
mount, which doesn't have an A setting.

Yes, same double row of grip bumps on the DA*55/1.4 and DFA50/2.8 Macro also.
Think they have an overstock of the grip rubber or molds???

It looks mildly interesting, unless you have a Sigma 10-20/3.5 which
is no optical slouch, is less than a stop slower, provides a more
versatile focal length range, has HSM focus which allows full manual
override and is cheaper.

That really is quite interesting. I would have hoped that Pentax would
produce something in this focal length as they are still all aps-c.
