Great travel zoom!

The weight is ok, but there is no other tele zoom that weighs less that is an optical option in my opinion. the biggest advantage is size, it's the only one that fits well in my aw200 sling bag with this level IQ at 300mm.
I was looking to a smaller alternative to my 70-200mm 2.8 IS II, 300mm 2.8 IS etc.
Hehe..you seem to be catching a rough ride for the travel statement :). I hear what you're saying though. I love the lens as a walk around travel lens. The lens is nice and compact and I can easily carry it all day at a zoo/park. It's a funny little lens in that when you hold it in hand it feels every bit the indicated weight, but put it on the camera and it seems to immediately get lighter. I think it is just the way the weight is distributed between the camera/lens, with so much of the weight being nearer the camera rather than hanging out in front. The short length also means I can easily fit it into a nice sling bag, rather than needing a bigger back-pack type bag like when I carry my 100-400. My better half doesn't give me that "your not carrying THAT bag around all day today are you" look when I grab my sling bag with the 70-300L in it . Anyway, 6D with the 70-300L is certainly the most travelled set up I have. Glad you're liking yours.
