I've shot a lot of interiors for real estate companies using my
Pentax digitals. You don't want to use a fisheye, unless you're
up for a lot of post work.
The DA 12-24/4 is an excellent choice. At 12mm, the distortion is
quite manageable, and the lens is very sharp at 5.6. You'll want
to shoot of a tripod anyway, so you can stop down to f8 or f11.
Here's a link to a pic shot with the 12-24 and followed up with a
bit of perspective correction in PhotoShop, using the transform
tool: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=4003362&size=lg
Another solution I've employed is shooting two vertical frames
with the DA* 16-50/2.8 at 16mm and marrying them in PhotoShop or
PT Gui. This gives you a very wide angle view and minimal
distortion. I usually shoot those at f13 for interiors. Off a
tripod of course. Here's a link to one shot done that way:

Both are good solutions, and both lenses are excellent for other
uses as well.

The second shot shown here is comprised of three vertical frames shot
with the DA*16-50. Stitching them in PhotoShop is a couple of minutes
work with the align and blend tools in CS4. It's equally easy with PT
Gui. Paul
I remember that shot. It still impresses me.
