Anyone have experience with both? If I find a good price on a mkI in great shape is there a reason I shouldn't grab it? Should I go mkII or nothing?
I'm using the 28 1.8 now, and I like it, but I think I'd like a 24L better...

Thanks - yeah that's what I was thinking. I've seen pristine copies for like $1100 I think. Nothing wrong with the mkI right? -Adam

I was actually going to add that I really like flare so this alone keeps me with the V1 twitter

I've been leaning to v2 mainly because of the weather sealing. I've needed to shoot in the rain more this year than ever before and have really come to appreciate my weather sealed lenses. Oh, to live in sunny San Diego... _______________

airfrogusmc I'm a chimper. There I said it... More info | I've shot with both (CPS just sent me one of the new ones) and I have had the first one for years and have seen no real reason to upgrade. The first edition is a fine lens.

Oh, to live in sunny San Diego...  However, it is a hefty price difference. I've seen clean v1s floating around for $900..which is a hard price to argue with. The weather sealing won't buy you that much on a 5D2 or 7D. I mean, the rubber gasket will help some, but not sure that's reason enough to shell out $600+.
