Would you bother with the 12mm F2, 17mm f1.8 or 45mm f1.8 if you had the 12-40 f2.8 Pro?

No

I love my 12-40 Pro and it is by far the most used of my lenses.  Next would be my 60 macro. Love the 75 f/1.8 but it sees limited use. The 40-150R was getting little use, but, I blamed that on it being slower to focus and lower aperture, so, bought the 40-150 Pro.  It was a fabulous lens, bright, fast, sharp, but, it felt too big and made my shooting experience feel less natural - so I returned it.  Got the 75-300 for even more range.  Have gotten some good shots with it and hope to get more on some planned trips.  Those trips will also involve lots of expansive landscape, so, I'm now planning to pick up the 7-14 Pro. But, that's me, YMMV.
