The RF 16 f2.8 is available on B&H today for USD279. I picked one up in Singapore late last year for a similar price.

What would you consider a reasonable price for it, and at that price what other options for an equivalent lens for any brand are available and do they also require software correction?

That is OK. But not more...

The Sony 11mm f/1.8 covers the same angle with a very similar amount of distortion, but only covers APS-C, is half as big again and effectively half the speed. It's £500 rather than £300, but we can't have everything. Both lenstip.com and optical limits liked the Sony lens and thought it a bargain.
