I had a chance to play with the old Nikon 200-400 F4.0 zoom many years ago. 
What a cool lens! Canon's 200-400 F4.0 IS DO lens should be lighter and more 
compact. Would I trade my user condition 350 for either lens? Absolutely!  
With Nikons old 200-400 selling for $6k and Canon's probably even more, I 
would immediately sell the 
offensive optic, purchase another used 350, and with the money difference, a 
used 3Ti. Such are the dreams of a Zuikoholic.
