Looks to be a nice lens, that 300mm f4E PF ED VR. Not only does it "go Canon" with its DO/PF element, also notice the "E" (electronically controlled aperture) The 400mm f2.8 and 800mm f5.6 already got that "E" before it, and those also "went Canon" with FL elements..
Funny line from the PR blurb:
"Compared to many general camera lenses that employ an optical system using the photorefractive phenomenon, a remarkably compact and lightweight body can be attained with less number of lens elements."
It does not just hurt the eyes a bit in the language department, but the lens has 16 elements in 10 groups. The old AF-S 300mm f4 has 10 elements in 6 groups.
