Strangely enough I did not experience any significant fatigue, though
of course I did not hold it for very long time - may be 5 mins of
continuous holding.

It's great that we're not all the same (except when it to my
disadvantage).
Indeed :)
FWIW, my experience is much the same as yours. The *istD was,
ergonomically, almost a perfect fit for me.
But the K10D is so much beyond that in terms of speed and usability I find
the *istD tedious to
Try that with something like the FA* 80-200mm f2.8, or even the FA
100mm f2.8 macro, and you'll break your neck or the lens. IMO they're
just too heavy to have swinging from your neck.

I do it all the time with the A400/5.6 plus a flash and a flash Xtender, all
swinging from my neck. But I've been doing it all my life. When I shot a lot of
motorsports back in the seventies, I always worked with two cameras, both on
neck straps. One was usually a C220 Mamiya with a 250mm lens,
Fair enough.
I personally don't like having all that extra mass in front of me.
I have enough natural mass there already :-)

I just did an outing recently where I had the camera out and in my
hand for a couple of hours. I can't say that I noticed any more or
less fatigue than when I have done the same with the *istD. Neither
one felt worse. I have the grip on both the K10D and *istD.

The SR and low light performance of the K10d is leading me down the

I may have mentioned before that very early on it exposed a problem

It's a good change but requires some technique changes.
