Thank you for putting the raw files online.

It looks like a good cheap lightweight option for landscapes, however my initial hopes this lens would work in astro vanished. With such a heavy barrel distortion, even after correction, the stars will look too distorted.

So this lens isn't really practical to have in addition to EF 16-35 f4. It's worse at any f-stop  at 16mm and unusable at f2.8, which would have been the primary reason to have it on top of the EF 16-35.
