Based on what you wrote, I’d actually get the 16 2.8 to test the waters.

24mm is about as wide as you can go before you start seeing forced perspective distortion.

I like the ability to do this, so prefer a 20/21mm equivalent lens, went with the 14.

As you said, distortion was my consideration not to have wider than 16mm. f2.8 is good option but while its big brother f1.4 is standing right there, hard to choose it a little :))

The 16 1.4 is definitely the better lens...but I'm not sure it will still be what you need for Astro due to coma. It's more of a professional event lens, than astro-tuned.

Maybe get both the 16 2.8 and 12 f2 for astro.

The 16 2.8 will be nice for landscape and wide street, while being WR..

The 12mm f2 is Cheap and one of top astro lenses.

You can get both for half the price of the 1.4.

I usually recommend lenses by what user is trying to accomplish than what might be the better overall lens. So yeah, the 16 1.4 by most accounts is the better lens and one of Fuji’s best, but is it going to accomplish your goals?
