(I still vote Samyang 35, but that's me. If a Korean company with not much experience can make a lens as great as that, surely canon with their 60+ years can figure out how to beat it.
Another Canon Rumor

I read it today, and hope it is true. Although I do hope the 24-70mm L II will have IS. I just sold my 24-70mm, that would be good timing on my part. The 24-70mm really needs an upgrade. I sold my backup 5D II also, right before the prices started dropping. (which speaking of Canon rumors...maybe the price breaks indicate a 5D III coming soon?)

I have been thinking of late about trying out the Zeiss 35mm f/1.4 Distagon, and using to replace my 35mm L.

@ Gandhi... I wouldn't claim to be an expert. But I would guess that 24mm would be to wide on a FF frame body for most people to consider it a walk around lens. But in the end it depends on what the "expert" is an expert at shooting doesn't it? There may be some that like the wide view. So far I haven't read any thing in your posts that would indicate you would need to have that wide of a walk around lens.
