I also keep an eye on 16-85

Not sure yet what prefer this lens or some UW - 10-20 or 12-24.

You can actually buy Tamron's decent-quality if somewhat dated ultrawide SP AF 10-24mm for $200-$300 on Ebay used. That might leave you with enough to get the 16-85.

Yes, I know about this lens, but most people (by there opinions) in the net prefer Sigma 10-20, with complains about too soft corners of the Tamron.

I have the Tamron and the Pentax mentioned but use the Tamron seldom as its pictures have something unpleasant I cannot describe or quantify. Also the Pentax at 16 mm is really quite wide already.
