I'd love to get my hands on this lens, I've heard a lot of good things about it; apart from the weight ofcourse.
Lovely and sharp shot, good DOF, a tad overexposed.
Regards,
Ciprian

Thanks for the comment! I was fully expecting, when I bought this lens, to be overwhelmed by it's weight (especially from the reviews I've read). Honestly, it's not that bad. With the tripod collar removed, it's not much of a chore to hand-hold this lens. Once you get to the longer focal ranges, it needs a bit of support, but if you don't mind a higher ISO and faster shutter speeds, you can get away with handheld shots there, too.
I used this lens handheld for shots of the local 4th of July parade, and...when I switched back afterwards, it felt like I was carrying a feather!
Thanks again!
