Its a pretty heavy lens, not sure its what I would consider a good travel lens. I have taken it with me on a few trips and even on a couple hikes, but I think most people wouldn't enjoy carrying it around, its a sacrifice for sure.
I have one of the originals, not the OS version. Its a pretty slow lens to focus, which can be frustrating for fast moving subjects, but I have used it enough to know its limits and can generally work around them to get what I want. Its a f6.3 on the long end, so its not a good lens when its getting dark out, but I have been pretty happy with the the sharpness and contrast. Its a cheap way to get into a 500mm lens, it has limitations, but if you work within them, its a pretty killer deal.
