No sour grapes.  I really mean this. I'm not claiming any facts I assure you. This is strictly just my opinion, and above in all my posts I think you'll see that I made sure to state as such.

I posted a link above which demonstrated what I based my opinion off better than my own images. Really I think both are awesome in certain areas. But when I used the word " trash" above, I just mean for my own personal preferences.

Again, this is no attack on you or the lens. This is just my opinion: To my eyes, the 35L has superior micro contrast. To my eyes, this becomes even more undeniable at 2.8  and above.

Also my opinion: the 35LII has far superior resolution at 1.4- f2.5 in the center. and has generally better resolution anywhere outside of the center of the image at basically any aperture, although to my eye, the 35L isn't worse in micro contrast outside of the center except at wide apertures.  Sorry if i offered you by any of that
