I briefly consider a 17mm f/2.8 Ziess for my 5D2, but decided that I preferred the flexibility of a Canon zoom and processing correction in DxO.

Ahh, that's interesting about video vs. stills. I didn't know that. I've heard the 5D2 is nothing short of awesome for dSLR video. Perhaps rodi can chime in with his experiences?
