Guy,

>>the 12 however this is a focal length I will rarely use and
would find it difficult to justify spending $600-$800 on such a lens. $400
is another story.<<

That's why I bought the 15. Plus, the 12 wasn't available. But even had it
been....the 15 is an incredibly good value. 

The 15 is w  i  d  e. I've never wished for something  w      i      d
e      r. 

I mean, there's a point of diminishing return. I think 15 is more practical
than 12.
