I have the original 24-70. It is tack sharp and one of my favorite lenses. Frankly, I don\'t understand why anyone who owns the original would fork out over two grand for the \"upgraded\" one. As a matter of fact, if I didn\'t own the original I would purchase a used one.

Tack sharp edge to edge on FF?
And how can you use \" \'upgraded\' \" when the MTF charts for the new show are more dramatic increase compared to the prior version than has perhaps even been seen before for a new Canon lens compared it\'s prior version? Sure, of course it remains to see if reality bares it out, but I would hardly write it off already and using \" \' \' \" around it is just being disingenuous given the chart differences, the only evidence we have for now implies that it has been radically upgraded, even if that later proves not to be the case there is nothing, at this point, in evidence to proclaim it a joke that it has been upgraded.
