Pros:Sharpness , Small , finally you use screw or magnetic filters almost pocket-sized.
Cons:Price.
Opinion:Before proceeding with this purchase, I wondered if it could be useful, considering that I already own a 12-24 GM. I can say that 16mm is perfect for landscapes, allowing you to crop if needed, thanks to the 60MP in my R5. This lens is amazing for its sharpness and the detail it captures. The quality is higher, especially when shooting at f/2.8 or f/4 compared to the 12-24 GM. Also, the advantage of being lightweight and being able to use screw or magnetic filters is something I really appreciate in my photos. Sharpness and detail remain good even below f/2.8, although you do notice some vignetting, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes easy. I often use it for night shots with a tracker, but also for stacking multiple shots at f/1.8, and it performs really well much better in the edges for the stars of the 12 24 GM Of course, it can never replace my 12-24 GM, but it will often help me to reduce the weight, since 400 grams less are felt, especially when walking over 20 km with your backpack. In short, it certainly has a cost, but in its category it is unrivaled and offers much higher performance than the Sony 20mm.
Pros:Sharpness even at full aperture, excellent rendering at the edges, small and performing, 67 filters, aesthetically beautiful, especially with small cameras such as A7c, excellent colors and contrasts.
Cons:The lightness and compactness is paid for with a barrel distortion, clearly solvable in post
Opinion:An exceptional lens, light, compact, allows you to get a lot of quality, both for daytime landscapes and astrophotography, remarkable detail already at 1.8 which becomes impressive at 2.8 nothing to envy to 14 gm, the coma is contained, as well as the quality at the edges, a lens absolutely to have, for a landscape painter it is really top, the only defect is the barrel distortion that can be corrected in post, From this point of view the 14 GM wins, otherwise great lens.
