I don't own either actually yet. I may own both as I think they are for different purposes. I know many disagree with me on these opinions. But, I think the micro contrast is superior on the 35L original except at the far edge of the frame of course. I think even at 1.4 (especially by f/2) the 35L original has superior micro contrast and rendering excluding the global contrast loss that it suffers wide open which I consider to be 100% fixable, where as micro contrast I don't see as fixable. I think the 35L II has superior resolution however wide open at 1.4 across the frame of course. I don't consider resolution and what I consider to be micro contrast to be the same thing. I don't view sharpness the way most people do i guess since i've learned to see micro contrast. I dont think the 35 IS is in the same category as either. Sorry if you disagree with me though. Respect.

Edit: So no one at all should care about a lens being sharper at f/4? That doesn't include me   I guess haha
