The 12mm on the other hand is a little over twice the price of the 15mm and would be much harder to justify for an occasional shot, although it's still incredibly cheap compared to the competition! I'm sure the 15mm owners who've figured they're not using the lens often will be starting to move them on soon, so look out for cheap deals. The promo blurb talks of being able to take full length portraits, head to toe, from 1m away. Er, I've yet to figure out what use I could put it to...
