What Bruce said. I think I'd like that DA 12-24. Nice ones, Paul. Cheers,

Both excellent shots, Paul. Boy do I want me one of those 12-24's -
That is certainly the biggest hole in my lens line up at the moment.
It looks like a great lens.

Hi everyone,
I’d love to hear your suggestions for the best wide angle lens I can get
my hands on to shoot interiors. I need it to be as fast as possible,
and if it is a zoom, I need constant aperture through-out. Many of the
interiors (babies nurseries) that I am shooting are required to be shot
using only available light, so this is why the faster, the better. And,
able to give the best resolution as possible.
I will be using it on the K-7. It doesn’t have to be a Pentax lens, I
just want good glass, good price and as wide as possible. Wide angle
zooms are ok, although I know that it is rare to find one as optically
good as the prime equivalents.
I also love to shoot babies/kids faces close up with a wide angle
perspective, so something that would suit this purpose would be great
too. If it had a nice macro function, I wouldn’t complain either!
Also, does anyone have the DA Fishe-Eye 10-17mm f3.5-4.5 and if so, what
are your thoughts on it?
TIA!
Tan. ☺
