Also, how many people have their camera's perminately (or at least 'most of the time' )attached to this lens?? I got mine about a month ago and it has not been off the camera yet. I am completely comfortable walking around with it but at the same time I'm still young and for me the results are so worth lugging this bad boy around. 8 f-e | 24-70 | 30 |100 | feedback: ebay

I'm small - only 5'7" and skinny and I have no problems. Perhaps when you first get the lens, the weight might take some getting used to but once you're accustomed to it, it should not be a problem - at least for me it isn't. 5D Mark II | 50 F1.8 II | 35L | 17-40L | 38-76 "Macro" | 580EX II | 430EX

I often use this for prolonged shoots, and I pack a monopod for this -- it's fine when I'm just bouncing along but for shooting from a single position for an extended period the monopod saves a lot of strain.

Also, how many people have their camera's perminately (or at least 'most of the time' )attached to this lens??  During soccer/football season (which never ends BTW), I'm always using this lens. I'll often adopt this posture. It steadies the lens, and changes my point of view. I get tired of seeing the same viewpoint. At times I'll camp at one of the goals and lie prone, just for a change in perspective. At first it was tiring, but my left arm toughened up.  John

nik.hisham Senior Member 745 posts Joined Oct 2008 More info | Mar 22, 2009 22:40 | #1212 This was shot with a 50D + 70-200 combo. I didn't quite get the focus and DoF right so the 'Canon' on the strap is blurred. Also, I didn't clean up some of the blemishes on the camera body, but I was just messing around with a DIY 'studio' setup.  And how it was done (yes, I'm a cheap skate.. - or actually, it would also be because the 70-200 cost so much, I can't afford to get proper lighting  ) 5D Mark II | 50 F1.8 II | 35L | 17-40L | 38-76 "Macro" | 580EX II | 430EX

I shoot mostly sports. I keep getting them from the school's equipment room, but would Like my own at this point. I feel like, usign a quick shutter speed around 1000 like I have to for basketball and such, the IS wouldn't really do anything except make me lose a stop... thoughts? the IS version is generally accepted to be noticeably less sharp than the non-IS version...
