Robert,

"Doesn't look very good"?  The 400 4.0DO has slightly higher
MTF curves (is sharper) than the 400 5.6L I own - especially
in the 30 lines/mm curves.

The 400 4.0DO is not quite as good as the 400 2.8IS (which
is just the sharpest 400/2.8 ever made I dare say).

As for MTF charts in general,  anything above 0.6 should give
decent quality,  and above 0.8 should be an excellent
performer (e.g. L glass).
