Shall I get or shall I not?

Will I get the 24-70mm f2.8 L or is there a 24-70 f2.8 II coming out soon?
As saw on the google search

The MkII will probably be a ridiculous price. The current version is as sharp as a tack so I can ‘t see how they can improve on it much?? I know they could add IS but do you really need IS on a wide lens like this??
I would get it now if you can afford it.
In agreement with Ballyman. A medium tele might benefit from a better IS, but on a wider lens than 100mm or more, I’d say you probably wouldn’t see any difference in sharpness.
I’d wait for the Mk II to be released and then buy a Mk I, as the price should be reduce at that stage.

well from your list of equipment why would you want to get a second 24-70 2.8 l lens or did you get it already :)
Didnt change the list… Broke my 24-70 2.8L and ALL company don’t fix those anymore….so I got the insurance cover and now have the money waiting to buy….
I’m still have one foot in the camera shop.its hard to think “wil I wait for another week? Or get it now cos of the wedding next week”
What I did was thinking if wait for the len to drop and a wedding next week to use a 85 f1.8 for the church, 70-200 for portrait, candid shot,etc and 17-40 for group shoot… Good idea? I know that the 24-70 would make a little easy to use..
Maybe rent a 24-105 of 24-70 from Conns just for the wedding? If you have the money it’s worth waiting just to see what the price will be, then making a decision.
Ohhh, any guy love their 24-105 f4 IS?
Easy to stick with one Len for the wedding rather than 24-70 and 24-200?I’ve got the 24-105 and used it for event work in dark clubs with flash. It’s a great lens but I think it suffers at the wide angle, say from 28 or so to 24. This is in comparison to a 28mm F1.8. I’ve also heard that the 24-70 performs better at wide angles too. But hey, it’s a great all round lens. I think you would be covered most of the time at the afters and even during the ceremony with that lens, switching to a prime now and then when things slow down, and if you aren’t allowed on to the the altar, the 70-200. Now that’s assuming you use flash, if you are an available light shooter you will have to compromise with high iso’s as you know.
