No worries and no offense taken. And you're absolutely right that it takes a different frame of mind when shooting with a UWA.

Did you go with the f2.8 or the f4-5.6 version? I personally have the latter and am very happy with it.

Here's some examples I shot last weekend.

13mm, 5 sec exposure, f5.6



11.5mm, f4.2



10mm, f4.0



14mm, f4.8



13mm, f4.5




Just to compare with a normal lens, here's one taken at 25mm:
