Until today I didn't know the 400 DO even existed although it apparently 
preceded the 70-300.  The bad bokeh images I saw were from the 70-300. 
They were much worse than mirror donuts and were so ugly I made a mental 
note never to buy a lens with DO in the list of acronyms.  Not much 
worry about that anyhow given the price.
