Looks great! I have the 30 and feel the 20 is next for me, but that 16 is quite tempting!

Thanks

If you have the 30mm already , the 16mm is for me the better choice .

16 to 30 , realy different Field of view , 20 to 30 not so much .

The 16mm (24mm equivalent ) is a real wide angle and there is a nice bonus like Viking and some others have noticed it's in fact more a 14,5/15mm when shooting in RAW ( without distortion correction). For the landscapes shots where the distortion is not problematic it's nice to see that is a bit wider (1mm make a big difference in the wide focal range ) .

why is about that?

Enormous distortion in raw , real FOV is more about 15mm no corrected and 17mm when corrected .

It's the 'age-old question' - 16/20/30/45, 16 + 20-50 (or 18-55), or 16-50?  No answer is wrong, but for each of us a different answer may be more suitable  The new f/2-2.8 is too much mass for my nx300 and the PZ gets pretty good reviews; for backpacking especially these questions are important to me.  Financially though, my Pentax 17 fisheye must serve (and serve well!) for a while longer.
