The 16/2.6 has soft corners that never fully clean up due to how much correction it needs.

With experience of both the 14/f2.8 and 16/f2.8, the latter is no slouch and performs fine, especially stopped from f4. I do agree, however, that the 14 delivers excellent IQ.

I use the 16/f2.8, 23/f2 and 50/f2 with my XE4 as a light weight hiking kit when I go solo and can focus more on photography. If I am with the family or friends, when photography plays second fiddle, then I use a 18-55 instead.
