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

No. If you have the 12-40 and the 9-18 you have 12 mm covered twice. I sold my 17 1.8 and 25mm after getting the 12-40.

Are you really going to change lenses to get an extra stop or stop and a third. Or are you really just going to up the ISO by a stop.

Blasphemous, the 9-18 doesn't even come close to the 12mm F/2. Particularly not at 12mm.
