I don\'t believe that the Mk II\'s IQ could be worse than the Mk I. Either the test is flawed or the TDP\'s sample is a bad copy .... which is not a good sign.
I am tossed between the EF 24/1.4 II and the ZE 21/2.8 Distagon. If the 24L II is only as good or only marginally better, it will make my decision very easy indeed.
I would hope the test is flawed. Compare the vignetting of the 24L II to the 24L I. I don\'t know why anybody would pay a 600$ premium for more vignetting and softer pictures. Wait until more reviews are out and when more people have this lens.
That said, don\'t be one of the first buyers if you don\'t want to take the risks. If the ZE 21mm distagon came out tomorrow I would wait before others have tried it and when the reviews have been published.
