Has anyone purchased or tested this new lens from Nikon 70-200 f4 AFS VR G.
I dont aim to get it as I have the f2.8 version but it seems like a good alternative with modern cameras now able to provide ISO 6400 fairly easily with little noise.

Nikon Mag did a review comparing to the 2.8 version. Stood up well but Pros go for the 2.8. I'm thinking of one to lighten the load as I begin to creak more and with good higher ISO performance nowadays.

Is it that much lighter?

Depends on the ISO standard used. 

Is Hi Beef more dense than Lo Beef  ?
I understand there is a thing called Hi Horse that is now used in UK food, my Dad did warn me about this hi horse stuff when I was a kid!
