I have examined un-modified output files from a Canon 1D (I think it was) made with the pre-modular 400mm f/2.8 APO-Telyt and with the Canon 400mm f/2.8 L IS and at f/2.8 there is a clear difference in image quality, the Leica lens showing more detail. At smaller apertures there's a difference more of color cast than of image quality. Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com
