Yes it would be like carting a howitzer around but damn useful i used the sigma 120-300 on a n...n D200 and its a nice combo and very nice zoom range for shooting sports with 1.5x focal length crop.
I'm willing to pay the weight penalty for the functionality. I like compact gear but i;m not one to sacrifice all on the altar of compactness.
