Actually no, I'm not. I remember seeing one somewhere, but I was
looking for a link just now and can't find it. Even a lens with the
equivalent of a 12mm AOV on 35mm for APS-C would be 8mm. Still a made
out of unobtanium.

Ultra wide is the biggest deficiency. You can get 10mm rectilinear lenses
for 24x36mm formats, the equivalent in APS-C would ~6.7mm. Which would seem
to be extremely difficult to engineer, at a reasonable price with reasonable
quality.
Are you sure about that? The widest rectilinear full-frame lenses on
Canon and Nikon's websites are 14mm, and this (undated) Luminous
Landscape article says the widest overall is a 12mm Voigtländer (for
rangefinder, not SLR):

The 10-20mm APS-C zooms aren't quite as wide as the 14mm full-frame
lenses, but it's pretty close.
