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

I have met a Canon Ambassador and two wild life photographers who claimed that the 200-400L was the best lens for their purposes due to the versatility. I find it more front-heavy than the 500L II but it is undoubtedly a stellar lens.

Should I buy and own only one long white super tele lens today, I would re-buy the 800L or alternatively the 500L II with a 1.4XIII converter and maybe the 2XIII for emergency situations.
