I have to smile about the weight. I had the Tokina 80-200/2.8 and one of the reasons for me to get rid of it was weight. So now I have a much more portable/holdable A 70-210/4 and a Sigma 100-300/4 EX that always goes on a monopod. So if I am traveling, the Sigma stays home. Those big, fast zooms are not light!
