I really don't have very high expectations for a wide angle DSLR.  My 
moving to the 5D2 is for the 90 TS, which gets me back the medium 
telephoto tilt combination that I so highly value(d) with my 150 Sonnar 
on the SL66 (which is heavy and does not do well with Tech Pan due to 
film flatness issues).  The 90 TS is up to the job 
(Photozone: "Technically the lens is about as good as it gets ...").  
Now the question is whether the new ff Canon is.  We'll see.

I expect to stick with the Bronica RF 645, 45 mm lens, and TP for 
serious wide angle shooting.  However, I wanted some moderate wide 
angle for the 5D2 just as a practical complement the 90 for situations 
where I need hand held, fast shooting with more coverage.  If it's too 
doggie, I'll stick with my 50 2.5 macro, which does at least very well 
on the Rebel. 

I expect rangefinders to dominate the wide side when it comes to image 
quality on digital cameras.
