None of the above

because I won't be in the market for a 35mm particularly. My 24-70 II is covering that FOV. I've owned multiple 35mm primes and they mostly sat unused while I gravitated toward my wider lenses. I still own a Zeiss 35/2 ZF and I would have used it more if it could beat my 24-70G enough to justify carrying it and leaving 45 other FLs at home. I've sold my Nikon cameras so that may be a moot point going forward.

I am sure our debate on the other forum leaves no doubt that I would pick the 35L II out of the bunch listed if I were picking a prime. I think the significant thing for me about the 35L II is that Canon is moving in the right direction (if image samples match MTFs). Therefore, I look forward to the 24L III.

Once you've done fifty, everything else is iffy.
