12-24mm f/4-5.6 or 16mm f/2.4 or 20-50 / 18-55 III if you're on budget

What is the point in duplicating the 16-50mm PZ with 20-50mm or 18-55mm? Also 16mm won't be much more useful than wide end of the 16-50mm PZ, unless you really need f/2.4. I'd go with the 12-24mm.

For landscapes with good resolution across the frame, my 16mm is well ahead of my 16-50mm pz in that department. I like the 16-50mm, however for me it won't be used for landscapes without some serious cropping.

The 16mm and the 12mm Rokinon are my go to lenses for landscapes; unless I want to take the time to stitch photos with the 30mm or 45mm. When doing this, now the extra high resolution across the whole frame is amazing (and way ahead of the 2 wide angle lenses).
