What I'm unsure of is how much wider than a 14mm, or a 12mm in the case of the 12-24mm zoom, you need. I had a 15mm that I used with the Leica M once upon a time, and I found it to be not as pleasing a lens to use as a 21mm. Wider than 100 degrees across the diagonal is, to me anyway, truly a specialist domain.
True. I get good use out of the 15 on digital. It's hard to say, but I suspect, were I shooting 35mm film, that the 15 wouldn't be the right lens unless I was trying hard to make it so. On film, I got very good use out of the 20, but my 17 is definitely in the realm of too wide for most of the time.
