Brad, the 12 is one of the great things to come along in a while.
Just because it's hard to do 'regular' photos with it doesn't mean
that it's not worth trying.
If you're doing your own wedding photos, for example, it's nice to
have the 12 with you to do 'arm's length' photos of yourself and the
wedding party. Just make sure you don't have the mother-in-law in one
of the far corners, or the wedding will get off to a bad start.
Also, if you need a shave and wear a fur coat, how do you tell where
one ends and the other starts, or do you care? Does the mother-in-law
care?
