Ok here are some: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/schlffne45f8u5r/AAC3Aogu6nkMhHxdK8Jeyrh8a?dl=0 All uncropped, f8, Compressed RAW shot in 8 inch Aquatica Acrylic dome' HTH

My apologies for the belated reply. I was going to do some more pool testing on the RF 16mm and also the RF14-35 and see how they do in a 6 inch dome port as well ( the previous ones were in a 8 inch dome) but the diving didnt materialise. So I had to revert to the old laundry tub test. I am happy to say that the 16mm is pretty darn good even in the 6 inch dome port! I have included a tub picture uncropped at f11. The 14-35 at 14mm is great in a 8 inch dome at f8' but in the 6 inch dome you need at least f11. The housing manufacturers are all over the map with their recommendations for port extensions for this lens in smaller domes for good reason. I tried multiple length combinations without finding a particularly sweet spot. Needless to say, the more you zoom in, the less of a problem you have. To answer your question about the lens profile corrections, it helps for distortion and vignetting but does not help you with soft corners.

I had the opportunity to try the RF 16mm again recently at Sodwana in South Africa. The images are all uncropped and shot at f8.0. I still think my go to wide angle lens will be my 8-15mm as the corners are are definitely better. However the 16 is very acceptable imo for the center 80 per cent of the image. So for the dolphin dive it was great and very convenient being so small and light and not requiring any extensions. Throw in the very reasonable cost and you have a good reason to have it in your arsenal!

Something else you may consider is Monocular correction. For me it has been the perfect solution and I have used it for over 10 years. My dominant right eye is fine for far vision and looking through the dioptric corrected viewfinder. My left eye has a mask correction that enables perfect closeup vision for gauges and macro critters. Here is a brief description: "Monovision may be an option if you need vision correction for both near and far distances. Monovision corrects your dominant eye to see far distances and your nondominant eye to see close-up ones. Your eyes and brain adjust to this correction to see objects clearly, regardless of their distance" This does not work for everybody but if your far vision is reasonable and not too wildly different from your closeup vision, it may be a great option. You need a two panel mask with your two individual prescriptions ground into the specific panel. in my case the left side is +1.5 and the right +0.5. I had tried readers in my mask but never really liked it and found that it is an area in the mask that can easily fog up. YMMV Good luck!
