I clicked on the link Bryan provided in his "News" to the initial review by Roger at Lensrentals of the 24-70 II.

I know it is wrong to covet....but I am not sure I can help myself here. Sharper at 70 mm than the 70-200 II. Sharper at 24 mm than the TS-E 24.

It is still early and it is ony 1 review. But...wow.
