Re: I'll complicate the matter a little...

I'm speaking from first-hand experience with the various lenses. I do appreciate the tests lensrentals does and they were actually the reason I gave the 400 DO mk2 a chance in the first place. However, in the field with the actual photos I am taking I found the lens isn't quite up to the other big white lenses.  It is definitely very good and if I had more money to spend I would have definitely kept it and would use it but the bottom line for me was that the other lenses just gave me better results. Please don't think I'm trashing the mk2 DO lens, I actually like it a lot.
