Well, Barry, I have both 200mm f4 and 300mm f 4.5 lenses. I use the 200mm
hand-held on occaisions, but prefer at least a monopod. The 300 I wouldn't
dream of using without some sort of support, because of its bulk and
weight.
Regards,
Mahlon

Is the 200/4 relatively easy to shoot sans tripod? My 80-200 is heavy
enough that I no longer attempt to use it unless I can mount it on a
tripod (I just got a monopod and haven't tried it yet). If the 200
was light enough to shoot hand held, it would be a huge advantage.
