Even Kodachromes taken with this lens look so saturated you would think it was Velvia. I have one and use one and am amazed with how contrasty and saturated the pictures are. On my home page, the bird pictures taken this month were done with this lens and both thw 1.4x and 2x extenders attached at the same time. The dragon Boat racing was taken with this lens as well. http://home.istar.ca/~robsteve/photography/index.htm Regards, Robert At 11:12 PM 2/18/99 -0800, you wrote: >Gary wrote: > >>Has anyone seen any test reports where they have tested the Canon, Nikon and >>Leica 400mm f2.8 lenses side by side.
