offspring said:I know - 2kg plus. You manage to handhold this? I guess if I purchase it, I will couple it with a mono.
Ah Lau, invite u a trip to JBP, just u and me, with Sigma glasses, how?mylau said:i dun think handholding is possible. its even heavier than the 100-400L. my test shot was done mounted on a sturdy tripod.
maybe handholding the lens is possible if the sun is bright enough.
