I finally have my hands on the newest version of my favourite lens: the Canon 35mm f1.4L mkii! I thought I would share all the first test photos and comparison images to the mki Dan and I took this week so you can have a peek at the differences. Looking at all the comments on my comparison video, there seems to be lots of mixed reviews about the 35mm mki vs mkii - they definitely have a different vibe each, but I do love them both! I can't wait to do a portrait session with it tomorrow and share those results + behind the scenes video with you guys really soon.
All photos in this blog post were taken with the new 35mm mkii unless otherwise stated for the comparison images. If you want to learn more about the lens, please check out my latest review video on it below! And please subscribe to my channel if you have already - I release 2 new videos a week.

Chromatic aberration test. The mki definitely has CA issues, the mkii seems to have fixed this issue up nicely!
Please leave your thoughts in the comments on this blog post or on my video! I would love to know what you think of both lenses!
