Don, 

Thanks for the tip.  I loved my 21 elmarit but had to sell it.  Now I'm looking to replace it with another wide lens and to be honest, the +/- $300 for the 15 looks a whole lot better right now than +/- $2,000 for another 21.  I love the wide look.  Just watching the pennies.

Frank

The 15 is a specialty lens that many people find very difficult to use. 
The
12 is an extremely specialized lens that you need to already know what you
want to do with it before you use it.  If you have not used a 20-21 very
much and are somewhat uncomfortable with that coverage, then using a 12
will
be really eye opening.  The world looks really small and far away.  Small
closets look like Imelda Marcos stored her shoes there, the local little
theatre looks like Lincoln Center.  You get the point.

If you want to get your creative juices going, try to rent the 12 for a
week.  See what happens.
