According to KR, it's surprising how 24-70 MkII has significantly worse distortion from 35 to 70mm focal range compared to 24-70 MkI. I'd like to see more rigorous testing of multiple copies..

Yeah, but the mark I has more distortion at the wide end. I wonder if that has anything to do with changing the reverse zoom mechanism of the lens (know that has probably little to do with glass optical components, but you never know ???)

As far as I remember Rockwell says 5D3 is the worlds best DSLR actually.

He updated his first review after some time, the first version was haunted by poor knowledge of the camera because he didn't bother to read the manual and came to wrong conclusions as far as I remember.

Ah OK. I didn't read that one. Thanks for correcting me.
