Not for anyone who just wants a single body to use all their very capable 35mm

I'm using all my very capable 35mm glass and am quite pleased with the results. In fact I'm quite pleased that my A 400 now has the FOV of a 600, and I didn't have to spend $4000 to get there. However, I don't really require extremely wide lenses for anything I do. The DA 16-45 has proved almost wide enough to meet all my needs at that end. I think the new DA 12-25 (?) would prove just fine for me, as long as it is a good optic. I don't see any obstacle to good primes in the 10 to 12 range. They're very common in motion picture photography, although with a somewhat smaller image circle. Then again, my knowledge of optics is extremely limited.
