Just out of curiosity ......
How great is the noticeable optical difference during
practical use between the
zoom, DO and L lenses?
Can you use a converter with a 4.5-5.6/100-400mm zoom?
All pictures were taken from the same position with a
matrix
measure, timer automatic and mirror lock up at open aperture.

Why does the thermometer seem more blue the closer up you take
the picture?
Because the advertisements of photo companies that say that a
multiple field measure recognizes everything and will manipulate the exposure at
an optimum by itself is just that..... advertisement. The closer you have the
thermometer in your range the greater the whiteness of the picture and that will
automatically cut the exposure because the auto exposure is fooled into thinking
that it is getting lighter and that it has to compensate. That only the motif
gets lighter while actually the measure of real light remains the same is
something it does not perceive...... so that is the reason why the slide will be
underexposed and has this blue tint.
That is why even nowadays serious and professional photography
should continue to use the "gray card" and/or the manual light meter
with a manual exposure setting as the surest way to guarantee slides that are
correctly exposed.
The scans above correspond in sharpness
with the original slides.
With a 4x lupe on a light box you have the same impression as here.
Everything is sharp and in 'in order'.
