[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 846098, member: 50197"] The 500 pf should be less of a risk as well. It is shorter and lighter than the 200-500, which puts less strain on the mount, although it's still best to exercise care with a long tele. Also, I never really liked the idea of long external zooms. Too much length and weight hanging off the end and wearing out the mechanism. I've had one or two well used zooms that ended up with a good bit of play in the mechanism after years of use. Having said all that, the 200-500 is an excellent performer for the money. [/QUOTE]
