It is so heavy it pains me to carry it - and I am no small guy! If I were shooting sports though, I'd opt for the Canon anyway. It's a superb lens. But your point is very good. The new IS long lenses from Canon are quite compelling, not only for IS, but the magnesium parts that make them lighter. - -- Eric Welch Carlsbad, CA http://www.neteze.com/ewelch Zen master to hotdog vendor.
