not distortion but field curvature. at 16mm they have similar amount of distortion but different. I prefer distortion of 16mm prime because it is barrel unlike 12-24 distortion which is pincushion.

advantage of 12-24 is not on picture quality but flexibility of zoom. picture quality is slightly behind 16mm.

I see contradictory opinions here. For me, the 12-24mm one clearly wins over NX16mm at 16mm and f/5.6 and over. The only advantage of the pancake is f/2.4
