This is an important point, yet I'm still struggling to find the right support for the Canon FD 400/2.8 I bought from Joe DiMarco. I'm not getting the detail and microcontrast the f/6.8 Telyts deliver but I'm not certain the support is adequate. More significant differences I notice between the Canon 400/2.8 and my Leica lenses are in the handling and ergonomic areas. The Canon isn't in the same league so I'm missing some photos while struggling with the ergonomics; if this is typical of L lenses (and of the better Nikon lenses) it's no wonder the N and C market demanded AE and AF.
