I should have put that it with the original post, but I did post them, somewhere on pg 2

40+ mp sensor has already been produced. I'm told 45mp body will be out soon. I probably won't be an early adopter but I will adopt

do you think the original 100-400L won't resolve well enough on this new supposed 40mp camera?

i mean i feel like this is something people will be discussing after things come out...but to not buy a lens now, because you're worried it won't resolve for a 40mp camera that hasn't been announced seems a little strange to me.

Why would Canon make a Mk II then ?

There will be a new lens, and there will eventually be a new 40+ MP body. Thinking about the future is not strange ;)

cheap primes + FF > expensive primes + crop.

sensor size is more important than glass.

a new MK II probably came out for a few reasons...i'm not positive if one of them was that the old version was being hampered by newer sensors...

thinking of the future may not be strange, but limiting what lens you put on your current camera, because it may not be the best on a future camera is...

a 100-400L mk I works perfectly fine on every EOS camera that canon makes right now...

You will see a large improvement in image quality and AF in low light with the 35 F2IS. I would recommend glass before the body in this case. The 50 F1.8 has a reputation for variable AF, and your other lenses are all crop and slow in aperture and AF speed, compared to the 35.
An option would be to get an upgraded crop, like the 7D2, 60D or 70d along with the 35. This will let you use your current lenses, and give you faster AF in low light. AF on the 60D is very accurate and fast with the 35 F2IS...much better than the entry level camera I used in the past, the XS.
