He lives in Birmingham AL and posted some images as part of his PAW. There was one image in particular shot in a parking garage that was very special. So, the long and the short of it is go ahead and get the 12. It isn't really all that much money and is a lens that lets you shoot images that almost no one else can. Special in this case equals $$. Like all wides it appears to drop off fairly fast in the corners but stopped down to F8 appears to be very good. Vignetting would not be a problem on scanned film as the new digital tools handle that very well. And shot on an M8 you would get a real 15 which is pretty wide indeed with no real issues.
