Chuck,

Good information. In particular the Tokina looks very good to me. I 
have never been real happy with Sigma lens quality (both build and 
optics) but the Tokina's have always impressed. Pentax also does a 
10-17 fisheye to super wide zoom, and 12-24 zoom as well as a 14 
fixed! So there are some possibilities out there. Of course like any 
of these kinds of projects the budget just seems to grow!
