Re: Consensus on 24-70/2.8 II field curvature at infinity focus?

Which lens is better?

Primes (but that's self-evident). I don't have the old 24-70 anymore, so I can't make a good comparison. I don't care if there is visible curvature at f/2.8, but by f/5.6 and f/8 it would be nice to get rid of it by absorbing it completely into the DOF.

I would guess that the 24-70 II is not necessarily that much "better" than the original, but rather just "different", when doing landscapes.
