The 400F is so close to the 100F that it is hard to tell the difference and the two stop advantage certainly makes up for the f/4 of the T-E. This combination seems to makes excellent sense as a lightweight travel outfit. One lens, three focal lengths, .58 finder to see all the framelines for each length and the excellent Provia 400F making shooting in low light even more possible with the f/4 lens. Temptation just keeps coming!
