Hmm I'd pick the current 200-70 f4 with a 1.4x over the 100-400 any day. Though I will agree that with the 2x it doesn't quite match up.

I've not seen any documented updates to unsharp mask, however smart sharpen was given a major overhaul, so it may be some of this may have had an effect on unsharp mask (I suspect smart sharpen builds on the oldre sharpening tools).

Jump to postThe problem with spot metering is that it does just that - meters only a small section of the image area.

I don't think that's strictly correct - the German company DELAG was formed in 1909 as a commercial aviation company and began scheduled passenger services in 1910 using Zeppelins Apparently DELAG had flown over 30,000 passengers before the start of WWI in 1914.
