Apr 13, 2012 16:25 | #1 I love the reach, but OMG this bastard is heavy lol. Looks like its well built only issue with me is the case. I brought it home and took it the cap was off the lens. Not sure if the foam surrounds are giving a snug fit or not.  Canon R10 , Canon RF 100-400

You will have to get used to not only the weight but the length. 500 mm is looonnnnggg and it takes some practice to get used to that length. A monopod really does help, not only with the weight but with sharpness at 500 mm. There's someone in my head, but it's not me! - Roger Waters

I thought my 150-500 was heavy at first but soon got used to it, a great lens.
