Yeah its an incredible lens, but its a bit of a challenge to find a consistent use for it. It's often a bit long for impromptu people shots, but I found that just leaving it on the camera forced me to be a bit more creative and I have managed to get some shots I really like.
Congratulations.
You have discovered the best way to explore the possibilities of any lens: just put it on your camera and leave it there for a full day of shooting with no other lens whatsoever.
I've done that with the 17.5mm Nokton, 25mm Panaleica etc (duh! those a really classic focal lengths), but I have also done it with the ZD8mm FE, with the Rokinon 85mm and with the ZD150mm (not so obvious, right?). Heck, on the day I was using the ZD8mmFE, I fortuitously walked into an air show and captured that event with 8mm.
There is no better way to jumpstart the creativity and getting to know your focal lengths.
Wow, an 8mm at an airshow really would force you to get creative. I imagine you could get some really interesting compositions shooting close to the aircraft with that one.

But you are right, amazing how much more interesting your photography gets when you force yourself to use one lens and think about creative ways of using it.
