If you have the 30mm already , the 16mm is for me the better choice .

16 to 30 , realy different Field of view , 20 to 30 not so much .

The 16mm (24mm equivalent ) is a real wide angle and there is a nice bonus like Viking and some others have noticed it's in fact more a 14,5/15mm when shooting in RAW ( without distortion correction). For the landscapes shots where the distortion is not problematic it's nice to see that is a bit wider (1mm make a big difference in the wide focal range ) .

This assessment agrees with my experiences very closely. I have the 20mm and it is a nice lens in its own right, but it gets very little use compared to the 16,30,45 lenses
