Hands-on With the Canon EF 400 f/4 DO IS II

[Khalai]

By the way, this lens is just as heavy (or light) as 70-200/2.8, that's quite manageable actually!

I don't know where you got that idea, but the 70-200/2.8L IS II is 1,490g, and the 400/4DO II is 2,100g.

My bad, I was under the impression that 70-200/2.8L IS II is around 1800g and this is just under 2000g. Still, nice weight, nothing terrible to handhold.

I really like the new 400 DO but i was wondering how small(or big) would be a conventional
400mm F4 lens?
I used to have the Canon 400mm 5.6, which is an amazing lens but it's around the same length and
almost half the weight of the new DO.

In use weight is 1700g with the 70-200, but it remains to see what the "in use" weight of the 400 DO is.
