For more recommendations on vintage wide-angle-lenses, you could revert to the adapted lens forum.

But keep in mind that ultra-wides are either bulky (if for SLR) or expensive (if for rangefinder), or both. Another thing to keep in mind is that 16mm on FF is already in fisheye-territory if not corrected; this will be less obvious on APSC but could still give a different effect than what you expect. So do your research on potential candidates in order to avoid surprises

Another option would be a 3rd-party lens such as e.g. from Samyang (affordable even new; also sold as Rokinon, Bower and Walimex) or Voigtlander (can be found at acceptable prices used)

7artisans also has a pretty affordable 12mm f/2.8.

*EDIT* manual focus shouldn't be a concern, especially at these focal lengths with huge depth of field
