[QUOTE="gustafson, post: 621121, member: 40735"] Nice! I've read great things about the 500/4 for birding! Didn't realize it weighed over 8lb [emoji50]Which version is yours? Good to hear that even these heavy lenses can be used to shoot handheld. How do you carry it? Guess I should go to the local camera exchange and size up some of these in person. I briefly owned a 300 f/4.5 and 80-200 f/2.8 and felt they were too heavy to lug around, so I'll have to approach this with an open mind [emoji28]@Fortkentdad 's idea of renting a big lens for a day and seeing how it works out is a good one.
