The Zenitar-K 16mm f/2.8 FE is an excellent lens for not a lot of money. Currently about US $150 delivered. Quality is somewhat variable unit to unit but most are very good. A Pentax K-mount 17mm f/4 FE is a darn good lens, better than the above, for about twice that when you can find one. A Pentax Fish-Eye- Takumar 17/4 (SMC or not) is about the same. The DA10-17/3.5-4.5 FE is an excellent performer, best and most flexible on the DSLR bodies, and costs about $450. I've used and had/have all of these. If I were buying now, for a K10D, I'd buy the DA10-17 FE without question. (I use the Fish-Eye- Takumar 17/4 on my L1 camera with an adapter. It's produced some amazingly good photos.)
