I know I've been away from the forum for way too long. Good ol' days in 2009.

I remember talks of a wide angle DA* lens in the work in 2010!

No, no, they meant 2017, at CP+ (in a month).  

Ehm, maybe not a * lens though. I'd wait a month anyway. I have the Sigma 8-16, a horkhorse lens, but as i shoot with the K-1 now, i'll be selling it. The 10-20 3.5 accepts filters.

You could also consider the DA 15. You've got to close it down for landscapes to get it sharp all over (almost?), but the colors, sun stars and flare resistance are exemplary.

I think there are some aps-c UWA primes from Samyang and Laowa as well.
