Steve,
I don't think I'd handle the 12mm any different than the 15mm, but I would 
make sure I didn't get my feet in. :-)

I know Henning has one and I've seen some of his interiors, like tight 
locations and it's amazing what one can do with interiors of any location 
with a 12mm.

By the same token, because it is so wide the handling must be very careful, 
otherwise distortion will kill the shot for sure. But that would be my only 
concern, although easily remedied with careful handing and using a level on 
the camera.
