The new 100 macro was said by Erwin Puts to match the Leica apo 100. The long lenses are especially good, I have compared 280 f2.8, 400 f6.8, 560 f6.8 Leica with 300 f4 and 500 f4 Canon, The Leica lenses are much more difficult to focus on the 10D screen than on the R8 and this is a problem for me. Best lens of the lot was the 500 f4 Canon but the f6.8 lenses are amazing value. I am not fond of zooms but have some and am not particularly impressed.
