Really, what is the difference? Are we mere mortals going to be able to tell?

I own the MkII and absolutely love it! awesome lens!

from my understanding the MkII has removed CA issues and Better Performance on FF on wide end around the edges...

There appears to be a difference (apart from the 82mm filter thread :P)

If you want to have a peep, this is good!

Looks to have a bit better resolving power. I've owned both and currently own the mkII. Can't tell the difference in real world use.

Thanks for the heads up Adam, but even with that review I don't think it will make that much of a difference day to day. Save a bit o cash buying the Mk I tho!
