I went ahead and Googled Canon 400mm and got this...
http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EF-400mm-f-2.8-L-IS-USM-Len
s-Review.aspx or
http://tinyurl.com/5j82ln
A very nicely laid out article and big white glass the kind of glass a good
percentage of the shots we see on any news feed is going to be shot with.

But I'm still ok with being a Nikon guy. And Leica guy.
