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.
