Re: [Leica] long lens tests

Hi Peter,

    If I remember correctly, a couple of years ago Ted had posted
    some experiences using the Canon long lenses, specifically the
    400 2.8 lens, a couple of years ago I would not assume as you
   do that Ted speak  without personal experience.  Who would he
    try to impress ?  You ?

    There are many fools on this list;  you are a bigger fool to try to
    correct their posts;  I am the biggest fool to even reply to yours.
    I just don't care for the tone of your orginal post.  You could just
    ask Ted if he had used Canon lenses.
