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.

agreed with everything you are saying and i am not gonna rush over and upgrade to v.2 anytime soon! but in this case of comparing the 2 lenses, the difference is clearly evident based on the visual charts! hope we we both agree that that test doesn't necessarily make v.1 a bad lens! i am sure if we personally tested those 2 version lenses ourselves, we'll come to a different conclusion. i like my v.1 very much and it produces some nice photos as it is.
