I didn't realize how frikken heavy all our crap is; i think i must stay away from them; i might stop wanting to use our existing lenses just due to weight. And that lense is the lightest of the 70-200 group! -Omar- Flickr

oRGie Senior Member 398 posts Joined Nov 2009 Location: Portugal More info | the 70-200 F4 or F4IS doesnt come with a tripod ring I believe, does that mean canon thinks its ok to mount it via the camera on a tripod ? I cant imagine the mount is so weak on the bodies, especially xxO series and up, I mean you would have to allways be so carefull even when handholding, walking around etc.. ?? oRGie - I am an EOS and the 7D was my idea

jpbimages Senior Member  474 posts Joined Feb 2010 Location: Greenville, Sc More info | hpulley has a ver valid point, if you watch the photojournalists, most of them have multiple bodies/lenses on them at any given time, just so it's easier to switch between one and the other (I would imagine the 24-70L and the 70-200L [2.8 on both of course]) would be a common set-up for the given journalist.... shan't miss a thing that way!

I usually put a twist in the strap so that the setup is facing straight down and flush with my body. I'm a lot more gentle with it then a lot of PJ's I've seen at local events who just have it sticking straight out swinging around into stuff. Alexander R.O.

I wouldn't be very surprised if their company (be it the newspaper or what ever), helped or did/does pay for their equipment (much like a school yearbook, the kids don't care [or even know how to use] about the camera).

In a lot of cases that is true but there are a few of them that I know for a fact purchased and own the gear they use and abuse Alexander R.O.
