Probably the 16-35 or 17-40 for a 5D2 body. I've already got great lens otherwise for FF or crop (100-400L, 70-200IS 2.8II, 100 macro ~ both IS and nonIS) and I have a 17-55 for my 7D.
Honestly though it will probably be a 2x EF III extender first.

been looking for a good legacy wide angle lens (for my Nex 5r). Minolta rokkor 20/2.8 is my ideal choice...but very hard to come by.

Nothing is even close to being on the horizon because broke, but if I was to buy a lens, i'd be looking at the following:
Wide
--Tokina 16-28
--Tokina 17-35/19-35
--Nikon 18-35
Primes
--105DC
--135DC
I really want the 105 or 135 the most. I loved my 85mm on DX and have been trying to find something to fill its shoes.

It looks to be discounted quite a bit right now...
http://www.amazon.com/Canon-EF-135mm-2L-USM/dp/B000053HC5
Those are beautiful pictures Flyex. Back on that Amazon.com page, I don't I've ever seen a product with over 100 five star ratings and ZERO 1 star ratings. wow!

I'd really dig the sigma 35 1.4. i could use something in that range, or something wider then 20, thought 20 usually covers it pretty well actually... something really long would be good, like the 80-400, but i'm thinking a teleconverter might be next.

I'm wary of "off" brands a little, and I'm pretty sure I don't want any more crop frame specific lenses, but that sigma really does seem to be a hell of a deal....

Trust but verify my friend. Buy shit local and if it's garbage return it. Lately my third party stuff has been great. If I was shooting for money I might shoot all L shit but I'm just a serious hobbyist.

Don't be. There is a lot of blind hate for 3rd party lenses as if they're somehow subpar. Sure, some are, but so are some "brand" lenses.
The sigma 35mm f/1.4 is honestly one of the best lenses out there and i've seen pros (or at least people who get paid for their work) buying it and selling their nikon/canon equivalent.
As a hobbyist, I always look for the lens that fits my needs first then provides me the most value (and is what I can afford). I challenged plenty of people to tell the difference between photos taken with my Tamron 17-50 vs. the Nikon 17-55 I had access to and the results were damn near identical. It was my most used lens until I went FX.
My point? Don't disregard 3rd party lenses as you'll be missing out on some great glass at great prices.

Will likely buy another body before buying any more lenses. I've got a 24-70 and a 70-200, and that's pretty good for me. Right now, in school for a few years, so the camera's been collecting dust. Maybe it'll come out of hiding in the summer.

I've been contemplating selling my 24-105 in favor of the newer 24-70. I've also got my eye on a Zeiss 50mm but in reality I won't be buying any new lenses for a while.

I just got the 50mm f/1.4 and 100-400L in the last few months. Saving up now for the 24-70 f/2.8L and the 70-200 f/2.8L. I will eventually get both, trying to decide on which to get first.
