Douglas, et al. -
In the December 2000 issue of EOS Magaizine ( http://www.eos-magazine.com )
there was a picture of a motorcycle that was taken with the EF 400 f4 IS DO
EI-EI-O lens. Even in the magazine the photo is quite sharp with good contrast
(given the nature of how magazines are processed, I'm guessing this is a good
indication that the lens is a great performer).
I thought it had been mentioned before that a red stripe simply indicated an
L-series lens, which simply indicated the lens has flourite and/or aspheric
and/or Ultra-low dispersion glass? From what's been bouncing around here and
elsewhere it does have a green stripe. Makes perfect sense. They wanted to
indicate that it's a "luxury" lens but doesn't have the necessary glass to
warrant a red stripe.
CONGRATULATIONS NIKON! Yep, the latest issue of Outdoor Photographer has
pictures taken with their yet to be released 80-400 VR lens. It does exist!
