Re: EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III & EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II Images & Specifications
You never know. If you are judging that from the length/weight numbers, remember that the 24-70 f/2.8L II got shorter and lighter than the Mk I version -- and that Mk. II lens absolutely mopped the floor with its predecessor.
And as Canon knows that its L lens customers study IQ intensely, they tend not to release a II of something that is worse than what came before. There are exceptions to that rule, but they tend to be more quirky / tradeoff-y than pure IQ letdowns. (e.g. the 24-70L II decision to reverse the in-out zoom direction --> this led to a much more bag/storage/reversable-friendly hood, but it only optimally protected from flare at 24mm).
