Hi there, I think your logic is correct and that you have answered your own question. I think the 16-35 F4 and Samyang/Rokinon 14 2.8 makes sense for you.

Agree. the 14mm rakinon is better in terms of CA that any of the above zooms - and we own or have owned all the lenses discussed here. For dealing with pinponits of light in the starry sky, the spherical 14mm wins hands down. (better our canon 14/2.8 that cost us triple the shekels!) The 16-35 f4 is an astounding piece of kit, and is my hand held preference (where light and lack of subject motion permits) over the 16-35 MkIII. Four stops of IS saves a awful lot of messing about with tripods etc in the field.
