The extra reach of the new 600 F4 USM IS II is well worth its price, particularly if you like to photograph birds. And the weight of the new 600 F4 USM IS II has been reduced to the approximate weight of the “old” 500 F4 USM IS, and that is a significant improvement. As another poster stated, one can get used to the weight of the 600 F4 USM IS II.

Best Regards,

although the newer 600 f4.0 II has shed a lot of weight, it is still heavy for handhold photography! i can hold mine only for a few minutes before feeling my right arm slowly going south
