This is the AF-D two-ring (two-touch) variant with separate zoom and focus rings; autofocus is driven by the camera body's screw-drive coupling, with no built-in AF motor and no VR image stabilization. It uses 77mm filters, focuses to 1.5m for roughly 0.17x maximum magnification, and weighs about 1300g.
