Just wondering, Great Bustard, can you see the greater depth rendition of the Mark I at the :47 second timestamp of this YouTube comparison like I can:

I just see low rez renditions of a scene and no "3D effect" at all for either one even with you tube at full screen. I also see considerably more sharpness for the 35 / 1.4L II at 100% (1:00 and 1:35) and considerably smoother bokeh (2:17).

FWIW, I see exactly the same.

I don't own either of the 35Ls but I know that the Mark II has a superb reputation and this pair of pics supports it 100%.

Me as well. Look, I'm perfectly open to preferring the rendering of older versions of lenses to newer ones, but there's nothing there that says to me the II is not the far better lens in every area where there's a difference.
