Re: Original 600mm F4 (non-IS)

In my opinion any lens over 5 pounds should be on a monopod or tripod, so whether it is 6 lbs or 12 lbs becomes mute.  I'd rather have the best lens that I can afford and put up with the weight.  Supertelephoto lenses are not typically lenses that one uses the most from their arsenal and are used on a more strategic basis, taking size and weight into account.
