All will work on the BMPCC, the 45mm has OIS, and it works, you can handhold it for short shots, also the 45 makes for a nice mid tele for head and sholder shots. Also the 12mm SLR Magic is a nice wide.
For your nikon 17mm, Tokina made a nice 17mm 3.5, which with the Speed booster gives you either a 12mm or 10mm 2.8 ( MFT/BMPCC).
As mentioned I already have the Pan/Leica 25mm f1.4. It's actually my go-to lens for the GH2.
But none of the lenses you mention comes close to an f1.0 zoom and f0.8 primes for the
stated purpose of low light tripod shots. I'm looking towards other f1.4 or f1.2 Nokia G-Mount lenses.
A 17mm f3.5 is nice and wide but kind completely defeats the purpose of a Speed Booster adding 1 1/3 stops of light.
When there's more light I'm using the 12-35mm f2.8 Power-OIS.
I'm currently
selling both my f0.95 Voightländer because they are too soft for my taste.
The 45mm you propose for portraits is equivalent to the field of view of 135mm on full frame or 67mm on regular MFT (72mm on the GH2 in 16:9). That's a bit longer then a 85mm portrait.
Your proposed 15mm f1.7 is not exactly wide. My 14mm f1.8 is actually closer to a normal focal length then to a wide angle.
You have to consider that MFT is 4/3" and thus larger then super16. Even if you consider that most MFT cameras have to crop to get 16:9. (The GH2 being the exception with it's multi-aspect sensor that is effectively larger then regular 4/3" when used for 16:9.)
