Re: 35L II > If every lens could be this good

I'm definitely a sucker for nice lenses which is why I have been so interested in the 35mk2.  It definitely has a big fan club and from all I have seen it is a fantastic lens.  I don't intend to detract from that at all.  However, the original is a very nice lens that I have taken some very nice photos with. Definitely the new one is better, Canon clearly did a great job with it.  Destroys, is definitely not the word I would use.  Significantly improved, most definitely.  They also significantly jacked up the price.  I would love to have the new one and I probably will eventually but at the current price I just can't justify the upgrade.  If it really destroyed the original I would have bought it a long time ago as I have very little willpower when it comes to nice lenses.
