16mm or wider lens ?

[AndyWear]

Hi guys,
I haven't been following camera gears for so long and I don't know what's available for the A7.
I'm trying to avoid the Sony brands right now because of cost, but I need something 16 or wider for some jobs I will be asked to do.
I will be shooting F8 or higher, so aperture don't matter to me so cheaper the better.

Notes:
-16mm or wider
-Aperture don't matter. I will be shooting F8.
-Any brand. Don't care as long as its cheap.

Do you need autofocus? Zoom?

You've got a couple of dozen lenses to choose from -- down to 5mm -- zooms, fixed, fisheye & not. AF & not, large & small, fast & slow.  You need to think about what you want.  Lots of 14mm & 15mm to choose from (many are the same lens).  How about a Laowa 10-18mm zoom?

Yep. Autofocus is a must for me!

I wanted to edit the post above but I couldn't so let me add a few more things.

It needs:
-Autofocus
-It needs to be Full frame. I don't want to mess with adapters.

I just looked this up. Is this a manual cropped  sensor lens?  I'm use to seeing full frame as FE so I'm not too sure. It says this on amazon:

About this item

• E-Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format
• Aperture Range: f/4.5 to f/22
• One Extra-Low Dispersion Element
• Two Aspherical Elements
• Frog Eye Dust & Water-Repellent Coating
  
  Only thing not listed is the autofocus, is something I'm looking for as well.

Most Laowa lenses are manual focus, as is their 10-18 for Sony FE. They do have a 10mm f/2.8 with AF coming in June, but it's fairly expensive. A cheap option with autofocus is the Samyang/Rokinon AF 14mm f/2.8.

Their 10mm 2.8 is really nice.
