Actually, its not the weird bokeh, donut highlights or low contrast that
keep me away from a CAT construction lens.  Its the lack of speed.  I can't
think of anything I shoot that I need that kind of focal length for that
does not also screem for f/4 or faster speed.  And yes, when you finally
order the 400 f/2.8 you will swallow very, very hard ...........
