Can someone point to/discuss a good comparison of the 16 STM VS the two uwa zooms?

Here you can check compare the IQ.

There are also reviews of 16/2.8 and 15-35/2.8 . I would not go for any f/4 lens if astrophoto is involved.

My subjective approach is that I would not (and did not) choose either of them. 16/2.8 has too many compromises for me and 15-35 is too expensive considering its IQ.

From the fixed lens there is fairly good Sigma 14/1.4, but it is quite expensive. I went for Sigma 14-24/2.8 which has an impressive IQ for a very reasonable price. But it is biiig and heavy. It is always something for something.
