Ok guys, I'm looking for suggestions here. What are your favorite lenses or what would you recommend for architectural interiors? My criteria is:

Sharp (I need lots of detail)
Good with high contrast. (builders in Texas love giant windows with dark floors and cabinets)
Cover Dragon 6K (and/or whatever Weapon will end up being)
Great color
Relatively minimum CA
As wide as I possibly can get and still be mostly rectilinear (a small amount of barrel distortion is ok. I can deal with that)
^^ For this I'm thinking somewhere in the 12-14mm range.

Preferably between $3K-$20K range but if there are less expensive ones that are great please share.
 
WOW! thanks guys for the responses. Can some of you elaborate on why you chose the lenses you did?
Also bare in mind I need to go as wide as I can. I find myself in small rooms and tight spaces all the time and need to capture as much, if not all, of the room at once.
There are a lot of options to consider here. You guys are great!
 
While I currently have the Zeiss 15mm and have owned the Nikon 14-24mm, I'm planning on buying on the Canon 17mm tilt.

Depends on what exactly you want to shoot, but for me and shooting time-lapse, that Canon 17mm tilt is $$$.
