Both lenses are excellent, however the comparison is not fair as it seems the weather change and strong wind has affected the outcome:
- The sky color is not the same.
- The cloud formation is not the same.
- This has given you a nicer sky on the 28/90.
- It has given you sharper lamp globes on the 28.
- You have lost the details under the globe on the 28.
The color temp and luminosity is not the same on both pics. For such testing on lenses of this caliber or any lenses, all parameters should be the same.
From your pics, the 28/90 is more contrasty and the 28 is sharper.
Both lenses are great.

Thanks for the test comparisons, comparative field testing of lenses is not easy and at the mercy of external environmental influences. For your own edification, I would suggest the character of these two lenses are best explored 1. With images made perpendicular to sunlight and 2. woodland under overcast skies 3. any scene with partial snow covering. HTH.

Cron 90mm on 5D II
Obviously, I missed the focus quite badly, but I somehow rather like the result regardless.

First image is a stitch of 8 shots taken around 6:30 am this morning.
Both pictures were processed with Silver Efex Pro 2, 'Coffee' toning.

Thank you all, Guys.
Here is another 35cron capture.
I think it was set f8/f11.(I usually don't do for 'portrait') It was getting dark, and ground is pretty rough. I was grabbing my son with one arm and capture this with other, prefocused, 6D deserve some credit at ISO2000
and my daughter was approaching me, but obviously I can't change focus with one hand. AF will be handy in this case. I love the result however.

Amazing dynamic range! What kind of PP used for these colours and the foreground brightness?

Thanks! Roni.
Color are most from WB tweak, maybe I played a little bit of hue and luminous in blue channel. Since it is under strong back lighting condition, there is not much color information there so that I can do whatever I want for them without worry funky color.
As for DR, I just let the highlight blow up
. Push shadow with Canon file can be dangerous, chrome noise is all over the place I still did some if I remember correctly in this case. IQ is 2nd than get the shot. I found this interesting scene, pre-focused by distance scale with one hand at f8 or so. My other hand is holding my son as the ground is very rough and my daughter and wife were in the water.
To illustrate about PP of insensitive to WB in this case and play composing in field (I liked the dramatic sky), here are another three took at the same time but I prefer the one I posted earlier.
