I only find it gets heavy when i'm gripping my cam (50D) with the 70-200, and also my 580 EX II speedlight attached...

IQ is amazing on the F4, especially in the day time or outdoors. Colors just pop out.

The crappy thing is, once you have tasted what an L lens offers, it's tough to go back....
ya, i'm still lost as to what to get.... honestly, after spending a day out with my kit (it's not even that big), i have a 40D, with a Sigma 10-20, 18-50 f2.8, and a recently re-aquired 50mm f1.8, my shoulder hurts... i can't imagine getting another lens in my collection and carrying it around the whole day.
