heres the lineup as far as your minimal dof

1.4- a pretty nice lens


1.2- definitely the primo

and i think this would be quite rad to have on the video aspect, and the photo side too...

canon tilt shift - reverse scheimpflug
That 1.4 is a possibility, but there is no way I can afford to purchase a $1000+lens on top of the 5D mark ii.

I'm not ballin' that hard!

If I did it would be my only lens I need something wide no question. If that 17-40 goes wide enough and covers a crisp undistorted focal length, then I'm, sold. Besides, I need the leftover money to cover the "pro look" battery grip and I need a bag for all this gear and a memory card
