Hi David,
I had both in the past (still have the 16mm).
I second what Mishka writes about the 20mm, especially the front
cap part... It was a real pain to find anoter one when I lost
the original cap somewhere in Wien...
I made a side by side comparison with the screwmount Mir 20/3.5.
The screwmount lens was (slightly) better in the edges at every
aperture wider than f/8. My 47 K also had a stiff aperture ring
so I decided to get rid of it.
No problem mounting it on the Z-1p.

Again, I agree. One of the best Russian lenses ever. I had two
of them (the first one stolen) and the second one is still in my
bag when the need arises. Probably the only non Pentax lens with
a coating at the same level of the SMC.
HTH.
Ciao,
Gianfranco
