Re: 35LII vs. 35L samples

I can see the difference in the contrast and sharpness in the version II photos, but also you can see there is less barrel distortion on the lines of the room. Of course the CA is apparent in the version I, and even though it can be corrected in LR, it is much nicer to not have that issue in every photo.

If you were going to shoot 35mm at F5.6 or F8, then I'd just as well use the 24-70mm F2.8II which will easily match the quality. This lens, like the 24mm F1.4II, are both ideal for low light situations, so their performance at the open apertures is critical.

Thanks for the real world photos. I think an upgrade is worth it.

Would love to see more photos that you've taken with the 35II.
