Zeiss 25mm
and 35mm. Unfortunately (I do not know, if any) there is no 5D (FF) equivalent in Nikon line.

All Nikon digitals are 1.5x crop at this point.

With those specs, each of these must cost more than a 5D. Any word on cost?

CZ 50 and 85mm are not that expensive, almost like 1.4 Nikkors or Canon lenses. From my tests 50mm CZ lense (contax with CY adapter) has a much much better contrast than 50mm Canon macro. If 25mm is say around 800-1000$ then people will jump for it, I know many who are ready to buy 21mm CZ (contax) for 3000+.
New 50mm costs - 480 Euro
85mm - 800.
