The thing about the Sigma EX 10-20 is it's a DC lens, i.e. CROP. If you
ever get the putative Full Frame DSLR, it's going to vignette a whole lot.
It's an great lens with an almost ungodly wide field of view (and still
rectilinear), but it's not going to work with FF.

Obviously not as wide as the 14mm Samyang. But a much smaller package
(119 gr vs 558 gr) and autofocus. Price favors Samyang if comparing
new to new.
I'm very happy with my Sigma EX 10-20mm f4-5.6 for the ultrawide side
of things, but recently I find myself drawn to that little 21mm Pentax
Limited.

So for quite some time now I've been debating the merits of buying an
extra-ultra wide angle lens. Since going digital the only really wide lens
I've been using is my old K 17mm f4.0 fisheye, which is kinda like a having
a 24mm lens on a 35mm film body but with just incredible barrel distortion,
but not fish eye.
I've been debating getting the 15mm f4 the 14mm f2.8 one of the Zooms either
the Pentax 12-24 or one of the Sigma Zooms. The Samyang 10mm is really very
tempting, but I'm not sure that I'd use it enough to justify it's rather
steep price, especially as it's quite bulky and I've been trying very hard
to keep the lenses in my kit as small as possible.
It hasn't helped that I've spent the last few years pretty broke.
Well now B&H photo has the Samyang 14mm f2.8 in Bower livery for only about
$260. Pretty much every review I've read about it says it's an awesome lens
for the price, and at this price I almost have to get one.
