I'm going nuts trying to find something that probably doesn't even exist. I need an UWA (say 20mm or less) lens that has a filter size of 67mm or less. I have a small fortune in 67mm filters that I don't want to replace. I can use step up rings for a smaller filter mount. I'd be using it on an a7 so mount would be OK. And it really needs to be under $250. Writing this post I feel like I'm asking for the proverbial "10-400mm f/1.2 lens for under $100" but I thought I'd put it out here and see if anyone has any ideas.

Filters? 
Tamron 17 has built-in filters. Also Pentax Fisheye 17, but 20mm takes 72mm filters, too bad. 16mm Zenitar Fisheye uses small filters camera end of lens.
Step ring thickness increases required filter diameter.
Older UWA tend to be slow...filter exposure stops slow more.

Thanks for the recommendation!  It's a bit slower than I'd like but I can live with that as one major use for the lens will be landscape and long exposure w/ND filter shots where a fast lens doesn't buy me much. I just looked on that auction site and found a nice Canon FD mount copy which I snapped up.

You will like the Tokina, it's a very good lens. I've used mine with 67 mm ND and Pola' filters with no vignetting. But it does need a petal hood, a plain hood is no good for it.

The one I just bought doesn't have a hood. Looking at the pictures I don't even see where a hood would be attached except for the filter screws. How does your hood attach? Like you I'll also be using it with ND and CP filters.
* UPDATE * I just found a generic screw in petal hood on Amazon for $6.78. Problem solved.

Although usually selling for a bit more than your budget, the Pentax-M 20/4 is a gem if you can live with the F/4.0 aperture. Very light (150g) and compact (29.5mm long), it uses 49mm filters (slim filters only). Image quality is good, with superb colors and good sharpness, except for the extreme corners that never get really that sharp. It's one of my favorite 20mm lens. Unfortunately, it's a rather rare lens because it was not in production for a long time (1977 to 1984) and it will certainly become even more sought after once the Pentax K-1 users will start looking for a compact superwide...
