What is the difference between the Canon 16-35mm f2.8 USM and the 16-35mm USM II version? All things being equal, how much more is the version II worth for a used lens? THANKS, Hank

Supposed to minimize vignetting on FF and 1.3x sensors - I´m curious whether it would have a significant impact on my 20d with its 1.6x sensor, anyone in the know on this? I believe Bryan at the-digital-picture.com measured the new one sharper than the mark1, too. Not entirely sure. Leica M9, Summicron 28
