Df and 300mm f4.5 K, non-ED lens. The lens is very sharp wide open. I was thinking it may be less weighty than the 400 5.6 ED AIS that has been my standard walkaround tele. But is didn't feel like it, and sure enough its 1100g, only a 100g less than the 400. It is a bit shorter (a good 60cm in fact) though, so perhaps for trips it may still be more convenient to throw it into the suitcase.
