Fast and wide for a K100D

Hi- I have a new K100D, and am looking for a fast, wide (roughly 12mm) lens. Any suggestions? I've been thinking about the 16mm Zenitar fisheye lens. From what I have seen, it comes in several versions. As a Pentax K mount, with the aperature lever, and an M42 screw mount, amoung others.
