No Wide Angle for Indoors Shooting or establishing shots is a major hole in my lens Line up...

I've been researching and discovered four possible options...

1. NX 10mm 3.5

2. NX 12-24mm 4.0

3. Samyung Manual?

4.Wide angle adapter on my NX 30mm 2.0 pancake?

After looking around 10, 11, 12mm seems to be my sweet spot. Anything lower the distortion starts looking goofy for my tastes

I think Im leaning toward the NX 10mm but the distortion is a little extreme on some shots I've seen but I believe you can fix it in premiere or after effects (an effect called optics compensation)

The NX10 Appears to be available for $199 on Samsung parts.

The NX 12-24mm looks OK but its probably overkill as I will only ever use it at 12 and I already have 16-210mm covered in my lens collection

It appears to be available on Samsung Parts for $300

If it doesn't look like crap on 4k Id be into converting my NX30mm 2.0 or my Nikkor 50mm Manual 1.8 Into wide angle if I could knock them to 12 mm Id be happy. In fact It would be very cool to have a fast 2.0 12mm with auto focus if I adapted my 30mm (but Im sure even the best wide angle adapter would knock me down a stop or two)

Anyone know of a good quality wide angle converter? anyone have video of it in action?

My max budget is $350ish for any of these options.

Just thinking or typing out loud to see if anybody has any thoughts or options I haven't considered yet...

1. Very good and sharp lens, but it is a fish eye, you can do things in post. I am waiting mine to arrive, but I want it for the fisheye effect anyway, and use it with NX500 4K crop.

2. Very sharp wide open, I use it as a walk around "kit" lens these days (especially with the NX500) as I mostly shoot in 12-24(!) anyway or more than 50mm. It is a zoom, so it is a good thing that you have the 2X focal length options, plus it is really small and light for an ultra wide zoom lens. It seems very plastic-ly build though, and my rings are somehow not turn properly, but nothing serious, really. Other people I know have no complaints about the rings.

3. There are a lot of threads about it, seems like a really good option as well, I decided I needed the 12-24 more.

4. NO!
