Not that I am thinking of buying any of those lenses but I notice that some are marked as "Optics Designed for 4K Capture" and others "Suitable for 4K Image Capture" or "Engineered for 4K Resolution Cameras" or "Designed for 4K Resolution" and the most simple "Supports 4K Recording Quality".

What does this mean for lenses such as the popular 70-200L f/2.8 ii? Is it just marketing, or does 4K and above require special lenses?
