APS-C is going to struggle with getting the ultra wide angle of view. If that is what you do a lot of, then sticking with full frame or larger may be the best option.
For Pentax, I think the closest would be the 10mm, but it is not rectilinear so you'll have to adjust for fish-eye and/or crop back to square.
There are some third party options but I am not aware of any that are still for sale. (even if you trust flea-Bay they are difficult to find). Maybe someone else has a lead on good ultra-wide lenses.
For the most part, Pentax's small lens lineup is fine and covers the range pretty well.... but it does fall short in some aspects and I would not be a fan boy and suggest Pentax to this person.
I have little issue with it, but if your friend has a strong love for 16MM on FF, another brand would be the way to go.
If not doing photography professionally or in some niche where super high speed shooting or super low light is critical; nearly any camera from any brand will do.
Although I know nothing about it, I would expect the 80D should be fine. Putting a good lens on it will be important.
