The comparison doesn’t include a 400DO II with converter. The 400mm conlusion is the following: The version II 300 f/2.8 is much lighter than its predecessor, so the weight savings isn’t quite as significant. However, it’s clear that from a resolution standpoint at least, the 400 DO is slightly better than the 300 f/2.8 IS II with teleconverter.

hmmm....i don't know where that comes from have you actually, physically compared them or, Simon sez? and...what do you mean by "slightly"....how slightly? i don't know about 400 DO but i do own the 300 2.8 II...it is the sharpest lens i have ever seen and used!

That came from a LensRentals comparison between the two lenses.
