Phatttttt, only a Kilo. I use my Nikon 70-200 Vr f2.8 for weight in my pick up during the winter to help keep the tires on the road during snow storms.:-)
My neck is extremely bent out of shape after a full day of shooting horses with that lens and what ever Nikon body i use. Those are heavy cameras. I;ll compare weight with Cotty at GFM this year. Later we'll see how much our big body cameras weight.
