Am I the only one who wants a 400mm F5.6?

Nov 22, 2011

Canon has one, and it's an outstanding lens as well as very cheap. For Nikon shooters, there is nothing comparable. The only sort of inexpensive option is to buy the 80-400, which isn't the greatest lens ever. A 400mm prime would be sharper and have faster AF. While I spend a lot of money on photography, I don't think I could ever justify the F2.8 lens. Is anyone with me on this?
