The Mk2 does have a couple of other tweaks. The aperture stays open
slightly longer before closing down for the longer focal lengths. The
blade shape got optimized a little bit and the motor is different.
There was also an attempt to fix that cross-over point where the life
got sucked out of the images.
I would prefer a Mk2, but the budget is Mk1. Regardless, either one
are better than most N/C lenses.
