Some? Do you see any satisfactory Pentax FF wideangle on a market? FA24 will vignette for sure, not speaking of any wider ones. Even Canon can't say yet, that they have GOOD wide-angle for their 5D. 20...24mm for FF is not any kind of ultra-wide, so it refers to limited usability and needs a real solution, not just to be ignored or cheated. Present lenses do not offer that and I'm pretty much aware, that instead of better optics next generation bodies will offer some software trick to hide (not correct) the problem.
