I would require the 14/2.8 or at least the reassurance that something like the Heliar 12mm f/5.6 works fine via adapter.
"28mm" just don't cut it for me at this stage.

Did you ever try the 16mm f2.8 with the 0.75 converter? In combination with the NEX-5n it makes a fine wide angle. I mostly use it for ultra wide stitching, where I do not need the extreme corners, that probably influences my enthusiasm. The 16mm, with and without converter, is very nice for stitching, since it is apparently a true rectilinear wide angle. Some wide zoom do not stitch very well.
