After all, 78% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

Definite +1 for that ;)

Iain, tried to give +2 for that but it wasn't having any of it. Wonder if I'm the only one who gets the meaning?
Can't wait to get back to Edinburgh....
Edwin Herdman:
There is also the apparent fact that WA lenses and large aperture lenses are prone to some effects on recent DSLR bodies (since the 5D classic, and including all the recent APS-C cameras) due to the photosite construction, so a slightly slower (relative aperture) tele lens may perform better.
The 135mm f/2L performs pretty well with a full set of Kenko extenders on for the macro range, but other than that I agree with jcns that any distinction is merely academic. Both lenses could certainly be improved somewhat with newer formulas and glass, and IS would theoretically be an improvement as well. In practice, though, both lenses seem great and you would probably get very diminished returns on sharpness or uniformity with a newer lens, for the considerable price hike to be expected.

LOL i converted to canon, I picked a couple of 1D bodies up ages ago really cheap so i grabbed a 28-300L and began using the canons and once i got used to the canon system and control layout i found i prefered it to the nikon, my wife kept using the nikon and we started doubling up on lenses so decided to sell the nikon gear and consolodate to completely canon. But with the way things are shaking out with current cameras coming out i see more people going the other way.
