Really, Jerry ? $1000 and 1400 are in the same ballpark, even the same infield. It would be a toss up as to which scored better in very critical testing, regardless of who made which lens. You present a 40% difference, typically just enough to cover name prestige marketing or other "non imaging" differences.
Exactly my point. I wouldn't spend an extra $400 without some definite benefit.
