The demand is mostly from pro and advanced amateur photographers who concentrate on the wide angle end of photography. I'm one of them. I want my 24mm lens to be a 24mm, not a 36mm. I want my full-frame fisheye to be a full-frame fisheye. I don't need giant file size for my work, but I do want full-frame coverage. I've shot with the Canon and Kodak full-frame cameras and loved it. So the EOS 5D has great appeal for me.
I use the Pentax DA14 for ultrawide and I'm quite happy with it, don't really need wider. It provides a bit wider field of view than a 24mm lens on 24x36mm format, closer to 21mm.
I've had 15mm rectilinear lenses for 24x36mm, but the field of view is wider than I preferred.
