Klaus, it's quite a while ago that you tested the Peleng 8/3.5 ...
how would you compare the two?

Well, the Peleng is a circular fisheye which does not cover the full APS-C format. As such it represents already a bigger compromise.
The Tokina/Pentax 10-17mm may be viable alternative - it seems a little sharper in the extreme corners but it produces more purple fringing and it's worse in contra light situations (which is why I rated it lower).
