Dylan777:
Looking at the new Canon 24-70 Spec and MTF chart, I wonder how many CRs member going to buy this lens? and what is your number ONE reason to buy mrk II?

If the lens is as good as the chart, i plan to buy it. Main reason is flexibility of having a zoom with near prime sharpness for when i need it - simply for convenience. I will not replace my primes, but sometime i feel i could really benefit from a zoom in the 24-70 range instead of switching lens all the time...
Aaron78:
I will buy it because i don't have a zoom lens in that range, and have held off on getting one until the 24-70 II was announced. I have a 16-35, 50, 100, and 70-200, and also shoot with a 7D and a (sold now, being replaced by 1DX) 5D II. This lens sounds to be of equal or better IQ than my 70-200 2.8 IS II, so as much as i think the price is high, i think it will be worth it.

I plan to buy one. I have the 24-105mm f/4L IS now, and it's a very convenient lens, but often I want an extra aperture stop for better OOF blur, and sometimes more light.
My current plan is to buy the 1D X (preordered day 1 from B&H), then sell the 5DII, then buy the 24-70 II. That will give me the 'holy trinity' of f/2.8 L zooms (all in the Mk II versions) to complement my holy trinity of L primes (35/85/135).

I will get one as well. I sold my 24-70 V1 when the rumors started flying about the MK2. Now I've just been using my 24-105 waiting patiently for the new 24-70!
