85mm 1.2 L

...but given the difference between the prices ($1500 and $1900) and the fact that the old version is now hard to find, I'd buy the II version, if I didn't have either. I did, in fact, and the Castleman review shows clearly the reduction of flare and the rounder specular highlights you get with the coatings and the rounder aperture, respectively. Not to mention improved AF speed.

But if I already had the I version, I don't think I would have upgraded.
Has anyone traded their 85mm 1.2 L for the new, faster focusing
version?

The differences don't warrant spending the money on an upgrade.

Most likely there will also soon develop an Internet myth about the
superiority of the original version and prices will go through the
roof. :-)
