Good luck with your sale. I use mine all of the time. The auto focus is much faster than my 200-500 Nikon lens. I don't find the weight a problem, but I use a tripod almost all the time.
For any of you interested in a durable long lens, this is a good investment, without breaking the bank.
Thanks Bozsik. I have used it on my Manfrotto tripod AND monopod mostly. Handheld it's NOT bad for a quick shot, but I can't hold it steady for a long period of time.
