Wide, Wide
This is a very fun lens to use. It provides full frame images on a digital slr through the entire zoom range. It is about the equivalent of a 15-26mm lens on a 35mm camera. It is a great match for the 18-55 kit lens that comes with most Pentax digital cameras.
Pros:
- Compact size
- Good quality optics
- Smooth operation
- Zoom
Cons:
- No filter system
- Only useable on digital cameras

So much fun with this lens
This lens is included fisheye function 180 degree at 10mm and ultra wide 100 degrees at 17mm. Sure, there is lots of distortion in 10mm because it is fisheye, but it is not a bad point you cab create many creative photo from it. At 17mm, you can take 100 degree with just a few distortion.
Pros:
- Both fisheye and ultra wide in the same lens
- good build quality
Cons:
- Cannot install filter
- an unique design of lens cap if lost it have to pay much for it

Fun perspective
I have the Pentax 12-24 lens already, but found that I really wanted something that was going to offer another perspective. The DA 10-17mm f/3.5-4.5 ED(IF) by Pentax offers a fish-eye look at 10mm while having minimal distortion by 17mm.
Pros:
- fisheye at 10mm but pretty straight at 17mm
Cons:
- hard to add polarizing filter

Great Lens to use
This lens is one of hardest to use because of image distortion is very serious. However, once you have used, you can't stop because it makes the object emphasised. So Great!!!

Great, fun lens!
I orginally wanted a wide angle and rented this lens since the wide angle was unavailable. The lens is a great fun lens and you can do a lot of creative shots. Great for night photography if you have a subject that has a lot of curvature.

Good all round lens, top quilaity build. A very fun lens to use!
This is an excellent lens, perfect for multiple uses. It is perfect for landscape photography, live band photography and has displayed amazing results with nighttime photography. I've been using this on my K-5 alongside the 18-135mm lens and it has become my favourite lens yet!

Lenes Wide Open
It works well for what I want, a fisheye to wide angle zoom. Cuts down the number of lenes I absolutely must take with me. Solid feel, a good quality product. That said non-zoom lenses are better, but only just.

Very surprised at how good it is
I was wary of buying this lens, as a fisheye is quite a niche item. However, I am delighted. I also have the Pentax 12-24mm and at the same focal lengths it is just as good, though this is fisheye so looks a lot wider.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Lightweight
- Quick Focus
- Sharp Focus
