Good points, P.J.
People seem to like the 14mm f2.8 on all brands (and they have to
focus also). I'd be using it 99% of the time at infinity (although I
realize that with most lenses today, infinity isn't a stop at the end
of the focusing range, so it requires focusing also). Regarding
distortion,
The difference in resolution is probably imperceptible in real world
use, even on a demanding sensor such as that in the K-3, you don't
mention distortion, the 14mm displays noticeable barrel distortion on
APS-C, I don't know about the 16mm, haven't looked at that too much.
The other question
Slim to NO possibility of me being able to afford the Pentax full
frame, but that is a good point. I actually LIKE the fact that I can
get great quality and a 1.5x focal length multiplier with the current
Pentax APS-C cameras when I'm shooting on the long end.

I don't have experience with either, but if there's any possibility
that you'll get a full-frame Pentax, it's worth noting that the 14mm
is a full-frame lens, and the 16mm is APS-C.

Normally, I dislike seeking opinions on This vs That, because I figure
one should do their own research and not "outsource their brain" on
such matters. However, on this one I've done my research and I'm still
torn. I would be using this lens for night sky stuff (aurora, meteors,
mostly). I live at
