This thread has helped relieve a little lust for the V2 of the 24-70. So happy to enjoy my 24LII as it is. I sold my 24-70 VI last week among other equipment to get the 85LII. This year I have not shot with the 24-70 outside of sports and occasionally in a wedding. I plan to use the 24LII on my 1dm3 for finishline, i typically shoot 35mm for that anyway so 31mm on the 1dm3 will be close to that. I have been noticing how many times i zoom with my legs now. When shooting portraits while standing on a chair i shot the 50L on the 5dm3 and i had to move the chair i stood on to get level with the diff size groups several times. That's where i thought the 24-70 makes more sense and would cut out the calisthenics. I generally like to shoot full length and 3/4 of each formal. I personally prefer close up shots over the full length but this keeps me out of trouble with the clients.
