    I'm thinking 12mm sounds like fun, with the incredible 6mm f/2.8 it'd be positively smoking hot rush ...

    but reality would set in and I'd get a wide angle shot at 600mm .. + the 1.4x teleconverter!

    Ha.

    Yeah, everyone is different, but the power of magnification sounds wonderful to me. (I choose F2.8 though as image quality > magnification)

    I.e I am not so keen on the wide angle. If anything, I need to simplify/condense my compositions.
