No such lens as a 12-24mm from Tamron, that would be a Tokinas lens. Tamron does make a 10-24mm which is a fine lens, and a new G2 version of it was just released. The Sigma is the slowest focusing of all these lenses and also has the worst CA. The Tokinas 11-20mm is a fixed F2.8 aperture and probably the best overall choice in this range, albeit also the most expensive of them.
Unfortunately for you, your Pentax mount takes away some of the choices in these aftermarket lenses.
MT, I respect your opinion and that's why I have to ask. Why is speed in focusing so important with a wide angle lens?
