Eric,

I think the others have done a good job of defending themselves.  Not one
indicated in "black & white" or color that they compared the Canon 400mm to
the Leica 400mm.  There is also 2 version of the Canon 400mm, so which was
it, old or new? I was just commenting, you are now the one shooting your
mouth off to defend others and gain brownie points.
