just an enthusiastic user commenting:

it's not nearly so intimidating as it looks.  i have a 400/560 6.8 setup.
the 560 is the bertha and it's definitely got some weight on the front end
(though it handles well considering).  the 400 is ergonomically superb, with 
only 2 elements up front, the balance is wonderful, and it is an eminently 
hand-holdable lens.
