Re: The 800mm too heavy to handhold, what about 200-400?

I have the 800 as well as 200-400, 500 and lesser focal length primes.  I can handhold the 200-400 as well as the 500, but I have tried to handhold the 800 and there is just no way.  It is a really nice lens, but it has to be on my tripod with Wemberly in order to use it....if you are looking at the 600, have you thought about the 200-400 1.4x?
