5dIII vs 24-70 II

[cpsico]

I have a 5d mark II and the 24-70I , given that the new 24-70II is so awesome and will be out soon would i be better off buying the updates lens instead? I really don't live at high iso settings, landscapes don't tend to run move around, and the center point is golden on my "antique" 5d mark II autofocus system. I am very happy with the color i get up to 1600, but i mostly shoot 100-800. I have a 1d mark III also, so with all that being said would a new 5d mark III really be better than a lens that can actually resolve 21 megapixels?

The new lens is looking like it will be really amazing, that said it's a shame if it's to be paired with a camera that cant keep up with it. just saying.

If you ONLY do landscapes, then go for the lens! The mark III is amazing, but you would be better served with the lens. Or get the 24 1.4 L. I just got that lens and its quite amazing.

That's what I was thinking too, lens first, and yes the 24 1.4 is on my wish list

i have one 24 1.4 II to sell BTW. Perfect condition, barely used since I prefer the zeiss 21 for landscape
