BS. The Nikon 10-24 (and sigma, tokina and tamron UWA) are a 15mm equivalent: that's 1mm longer than Nikon's 14mm f/2.8 and 14-24 f/2.8. Even those are fairly new for full-frame. DX can get just as wide as FX, it jsut takes some different numbers.
If you're looking at the Nikon 12-24, consider the 10-24 also. Both are excellent lenses, but there are some sacrifices to be made. the 10-24 is wider, but is a f/3.5-4.5 and is a pumping zoom (it moves when zooming). The 12-24 isn't as wide, but is a constant f/4 and doesnt pump.
I've never had a problem with the 3.5-4.5 or the pumping zoom mechanism, and I wanted WIDE.
