The mkII is sharper out in the corners, has more contrast and has negligible chromatic aberration. The mkI is very soft in the corners and has massive CA. You can also tilt and shift independently of one another with the mkII. I can't wait to get the 17mm in!

All the pros are dumping their mkI's and buying the mkII now. The lens is around $2400...$2200 if you have a CPS#.
