I did realise, you didn't get anything wrong.    As someone who is completely lost with anything wider than around 24mm FF, I love to see what you and others - Dippy for example, (where is she just now - hope she's ok? ), do with these wide angle lenses.

 

:D 

Ultra-wide takes me a bit of time to re-organize my eyesight and mind around. Once I start shooting with ultra wide, it's far better for me to NOT change to anything else for a long while ... I lose the plot on both ends when I switch back and forth too much. This is one reason why I prefer the 10mm lens vs the 11-23mm zoom ... I get far fewer usable photos when I play with the zoom ring too much. The dividing line, for my eyes, is right around a FF 21mm FoV equivalent: wider than that and I have to concentrate and ONLY shoot that. Above that, and I can swap a 35 or 50 or 75 eqFOV back down to 21mm with little loss of my intended visual ideas. 

Selection of 'the right lens' thus goes somewhat beyond simply "which lens performs best?'

Good discussion reg. ultra-wide actually!

During my former APS-C life, I really liked the Heliar 12mm for my UW needs.
Actually, in my FF life, 15mm is enough.
But if I buy a CL to replace my M, I think I'll go back to 12mm (or 10mm).
12mm might be a good solution, for both sensor sizes ...
