I just bought the 12-24mm on sale. I might get my hands around it next week. Every review sayts it's a sharp ultra-wide lens. You should take a look at it.

I like what I've seen with the 12-24 Samsung lens but in my book wider is better, that is why I have been doing so many panorama's lately.  The 8-16mm from sigma might work by focusing manually but I cannot get over the no filter thing 

The distortion is remarkable on an 8-16mm lens: perfect for real estate.  It would fit perfectly with Samsung's line up too:  8-16, 16-50, and then 50-150.  So Samsung if you're listening, can the 11-24 2.8 and go for an 8-16mm with weather sealing please
