Default Canon EF 35mm F 1.4 L USM .. wait?

Plan to use it on 5D Mark 2.
Would you buy now or wait for mk2 version of this lens ... ?

While there are speculations that a mark2 will be released in near future, there aint any official words on it and i think you should just buy it if you need it now. Its a stellar performer on the 5D. As for if it can out resolve the high megapixels 5Dmk2..it still remains an unknown, but personally i feel thats not a big issue at all. Try searching for information on how this lens match up with the 1Dsmk3 to have a rough idea of its performance on the 5Dmk2.

If you need it now, buy.
If you don't, wait, or don't buy at all.
