Yes - "The Beast" - lol!! It's a wonderful lens but not really suited to walkaround use. I've been using my new 50mm 1.8 this week, getting used to it and am very pleased with it. Here are some things done a few weeks ago with the 70-200.
Thanks for your info and the pix. I was thinking I might rent one. Maybe not.
Pg 7 - Good job, Pat. "Checking" backgrounds when you're panning a sport figure is darn near next to impossible...besides, I like the fact the runner in #1 carries his EZ-Up along with him!
