the first link is incorrect. that lens weights 3.3 lbs (1490 grams) according to Canon

The second one is the weight of buyer jaw dropping on the scales on seeing the price. I love this lens, and I can get a good deal on it, but for video, I think I'm going with version one. Its cheaper and its parfocal which for video is great... mkii is not parfocal!! Again, I wil be using it 99.999% for video... I don't require the resolving sharpness of the mkii.. in my opinion of coarse, the mki is plentiful!!!

Save a $1000+ and order the f4 IS version

With the benefits of the 5d Markiii iso it will be more than fine.
