It has similar size and weight to the Tokina 100-300/4 I have in Minolta AF mount. It can be hand held as well as any 300/4 lens can be. If you can do one you can do the other. Kent Gittings
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Joseph Tainter Sent: Monday, December 17, 2001 11:58 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Sigma APO 100-300mm f4 EX IF HSM This looks like an interesting lens, and I believe there were good comments on the list about it. On Sigma's web site, it is listed as nearly 1.5 kg., or over 3 lbs. in weight. So my question to those who have used it is: is this a tripod lens, or can it be used hand-held?
