Am I really a wide-angle shooter?

When I'd had the 9-18 Olympus for few months, I went back and looked at the images I had taken and found that rarely did I ever use any focal length wider than 12mm. So I sold the 9-18 and bought a 12-40.

Fast forward a couple of years, and on a lark I bought a Rokinon 7.5 fisheye for about $200. What a gas. Not for a steady diet but when I want wide.....I get really wide (180 degree FOV). After a few trials at various de-fish routines I'm pleased. Since I don't shoot ultra wide very often the tiny and cheap Rokinon is nice to have around, but only when I want it.
