What surprised me the most is that they no longer use 400mm f/2.8, 300 f/2.8, 70-200 f/2.8 lenses for sports/action. They carry 70-200 f/4 and 200-400 f/4.

On the other hand, the newer Canon 400/2.8 and 300/2.8 lenses are light as a feather. (The latest Canon 70-200/2.8 is still pretty heavy, though.)

I see a ton of 200-400/4s being used these days, both Nikon and Canon.
