The MTF charts are on the Canon website: here

It seems like I'm in the minority, but I think the 24-70 f4L IS looks like a sweet lens. I'm actually thinking about dumping the 24-70mm f2.8L for this; i.e., I only use the 24-70mm f2.8L as a walk-around-town traveling lens, I never shoot portraits, and I have a fast 50mm when I need narrow depth of field. This new 24-70mm would do everything I use my current 24-70mm for, but also add macro (which I do a lot of). If the IQ is the same or greater (hoping for greater) I'm going to jump on this lens.

And yes, I think $850 is a little much for the 35mm f2 IS. Personally, I would prefer a redesigned 35mm f2 without IS (and the same with the 50mm f1.4).
