Meaning, you're going to have a ball with they way that lens handles photons, and the way it physically handles. Also, measure your biceps now, and again in a month. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josheudowe Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 You're not kidding. This is an awesome lens, but whoa. It's a beast to lug around. However, weight aside, from the experience thus far - outstanding. Glad I bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Laur Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 You get used to it. Mine's almost always in my go-bag or pack. I also use a Think Tank holster that can carry it, mounted to a body. The trade-off for that size and weight shows in the results, as you'll quickly discover. You're also going to find out how shallow the DoF is at 200mm and f/2.8 (which can work for, and against you - you'll evolve a strategy, and quickly).

josheudowe Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 Well, I've had a few days to use it and wow - it's incredible. I great move to add to my bag. But man, let me tell you - this thing is a beast to carry around for those quick shots of the kids or just running around looking for a new photo opportunity. I wish they could make these things half the size! Excellent lens though, no doubt. Thanks for everyone's suggestions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
