Yes that 70-200 2.8 is huge and heavy. I recently picked up a 70-200 f4 and it has become one of my favorite lenses...is not heavy at all has great IQ and also focuses as fast, maybe faster than the 2,8 version. One problem is some barrel distortion, so if you shoot stuff like architecture stay clear of it, but for general shooting it rocks. -- Harrison McClary Harrison McClary Photography harrison@mcclary.net http://www.mcclary.net ImageStockSouth - Stock Photography http://www.imagestocksouth.com Tobacco Road: Personal Blog: http://www.mcclary.net/blog
