16mm doesnt look like it makes fisheye so maybe it should be termed as a wideangle with possible edge distortions.
Not sure what's going on in that image JK but if it were architectural you would definitely see a quite extreme fisheye effect.
I think this works in reverse with an ultra wide rectilinear which seems to distort irregular things like clouds but retains straight lines in architecture. Horses for courses!
Will try to get some architectural examples soon.
Perverse as it may seem I am forming the opinion that fisheye is more natural and it's actually the rectilinear which has the distortion. Our eyes and our vision are very clever, we see things which our brain corrects, sometimes getting it spectacularly wrong of course! Optical illusions and false colour.
