It's good to be aware, as I can use DxO when I need it. OTOH, I don't think it much effects me, personally. As I
discovered when looking for an example, I don't shoot at 12 mm very often, and with most of those, the small loss
doesn't matter. 12 mm isn't wide enough for any broad landscapes. I'm usually carrying the tiny 9-18, and even that
is mostly not wide enough for that, so I shoot stitched panoramas.
I don't shot landscapes much except the buildings for test shots ;-) For landscapes I think I may not need very wide,
as you said stitching with shots from mid-to-tele might suit better in most cases. But I do like cityscapes and
building interior, stitching is not always applicable. With the interior shots, a wider and faster lens is a better
choice.
In the pass I use WA a lot for party events now it is mainly for street snap and family shots in tight spaces like
restaurant. I like large aperture to separate the object and background. Even with the small 4/3 sensor, F2.8 will do
much better than F4 or 5.6.
I'm just not willing to carry the size and weight of a lens like the Oly 7-14/2.8. It would just be an expensive
paperweight. So the f4 of the tiny, light 9-18 just has to do for me.
I wonder if someone will make a faster 9 mm or less rectilinear prime for µ43
someday.
