The 12-24 (first gen) sure made a splash when it was released, and it was quite popular for a decade or so. Especially so with the users of Canon 1D series bodies because it was quite good within the APS-H frame, and only fell off the cliff beyond. It also paired well with a 24-70 / 24-105 zoom of any kind, on whichever format. Many people I knew were using this lens, but very few had it on FF.
I went the 14/2.8 route - though for a different reason: that is, because my other wide lens at the time was the Canon 17-35L. Would've been too much of an overlap to get both.
The first gen 12-24 was never tested on FF here but I imagine it would not look pretty...
