A review of this lens is here.

I am presently using this lens,and yes it is very heavy but a cracking lens!
I have tried using it with a tripod and monopod but without glueing the subject down by the time I am ready to take a shot of an insect it has left appox half an hour ago
So all of my shots with this lens so far are handheld.
