I might be talking out of the wrong orifice here, but doesn't it depend on the version?
I didn't think the push-pull one had a collar, and I believe it did eventually have the D designation.
Ooo I've just bought one todayMine has a collar and its the NON push pull version.
How is that different to what has already been said? :shrug:
Congrats btw, lovely lenses.I was tempted with the AF-S version that MPB have for sale....
The AF-S version would have been nice but then the price is going upwards. 70/80-200 f2.8 lenses are creeping upward. The new version of the 70-200 is nearly £2000
The AF-S at MPB was £699.
