Hi Tan - do want to try the DA16-45 - constant f4? I'd be happy to loan it to

I don't think you want a fisheye for interiors. I think you'll want
rectilinear. Don't get me started again on why Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 is
not available for Pentax.
Sigma has a new f3.5 10-20mm if the small increase in speed is that
important to you ($200 worth of importance). Some say there is a

The DA14/2.8 is a nice lens.
(And I have one for sale. Because I prefer to travel with the smaller slower
DA15.)

I use the FA 20-35mm f4.0. It's very sharp with a bit of barrel
distortion at the short end, but usually not noticible unless the
subject is the straight line. It's a bit slow for available light but
it's very lightweight and compact. It has a nice manual focus feel as well.

I had both the DA14 and the DA10-17.
The DA14 is excellent for this work. It's a very fine lens, best
performance at f/4.5-5.6, with very little rectilinear distortion. And
it focuses very close.
The 10-17FE is fun. Never could figure out what exactly to do with it,
but always got interesting
