I hope this lens will be sharp as 70-200 f2.8 IS II, or "Better". I don't mind spending another $2300 as long the lens can deliver it. I bought 3 different copies of mrk1 in the past (2 new, 1 used). No luck  >:( >:(

4-105Hey Neuro!

Would you favor this lens over the 2 for use on a 5D II or a 5DIII based on iq alone, and not aperture?

Thanks.

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).

If it would only be compatible with coatings preventing from CA.

From what I've read on the INTERNET, the 24-70 II is a masterpiece.  If I had the money, I'd buy it. No second thoughts.
