The best prime bang for the buck lens in the Canon line up! I'd love to see Canon take this lens configuration and make a MkII version with IS. I'd be #1 on the preorder list!

If they can make the 35mm f1.4L MKII version of this lens with IS, I'm not sure you would think it was the best bang for the buck prime lens in the line up any longer with what I can imagine they'd charge for that new lens. It would be a sweet lens though.

You may have misunderstood what I meant.  I'm saying that the present 135 f2L is the best bang for the buck prime in the Canon line up.  You're correct in saying that a MkII version would be more spendy.  I'd still be right there for a new one!
