Could not agree more. Once you lock into the smaller FOV its no big deal. 
The TEW will give you the 21 and other options are out there as mentioned. 
I'm not a huge fan of the CV 15 with film, but because of the smaller sensor 
area it works fine, so I expect the CV 12 would be the same.

I have never even worried about it.  Full Frame is a state of mind only and 
should be relegated to the trash bin.  My 21 is wide enough for just about 
anything I have shot so far on this trip.  In some cases, too wide, and in 
others not wide enough, but even on film you have the same problems.  Just 
get a wider lens if you need it, there are several to choose from these days 
in all price categories.
