...a 400 mm 2.8 consumed much of my college days. There is just something so beautifully wonderful about optical glass as wide as your face.

And a 400/2.8 gives you a different look that you can't get with smaller aperture lenses.

MILC is changing the game is what you see in the viewfinder. A 2.8 optic in a low light situation means you can see more of what is going on (brightness) compared to a 4 or 5.6 because those lenses were showing less light in the viewfinder. There was less light physically entering your eye. MILC can take a 4 or 5.6 lens and brighten the electronic viewfinder to allow you to frame things in low light at optimal brightness to what the eye percieves.
