A great lens, but it is heavy (~3lbs). I use it with a 5D mkii and it's fantastic!! highly recommended.

According to the online manual from Canon - the lens weighs 1380g/48oz. (3.042348 lbs.) You won't want to take this one on a hike! Best used on a sturdy tripod and a cable release. I use this lens extensively for close up shots of humming birds and Road Runners - mostly in a sitting position so I can steady the lens using my elbows against a hip and knee ......

No idea about the specifics - I expect if you google the specs you will be able to get the weight. As far as use goes, it does feel pretty heavy and unbalanced until you get used to it - it didn't help that I was a bit frightened of it when first purchased - but now I love it and have taken some fantastic wildlife photos with it even though I'm not a very experienced photographer yet.

The lens weighs 3 pounds. It is heavy but I wouldn't trade it for the world

It's a great lens but it is heavy (check detailed specs for exact weight). I wouldn't advise carrying it around with you unless you were going to use it.

I am not sure of the exact weight of the lens, but it is heavy. I most certainly have to rest the camera on something or use the tripod. The lens does however take amazing photos!

It is much lighter than the Sigma 50-500. Still not real light. In most situations since it is image stabilized you will get great clear crisp shots. In lower light I would use a tripod. GREAT LENS!!!!

I don't know the exact weight, but it is heavy. I ended up using a monopod to support the lens when taking pictures. The monopod made it very easy to take surfing shots with the lens

Perhaps the shipping weight is over a pound. The camera (with lens cap) weighs 1.4oz or 40g according to my postal scale!

I'm not sure on the weight but the viewing angle is standard not wide angle. I wear it on my chest and I need to back away from the person approximately 6 feet to get their head to their knees in the picture. Weight is probably around 15-20 grams like you said. Quality is pretty good for such a small camera. Only priblem is it will only take a 16gb memory card and battery needs to be charged for a few hours even when you dont use it. Hope this helps.

Not sure about the actual weight, but they are difficult to focus without a tripod. Strongly recommend you get one if you decide to purchase.

I have 14-42 lens , and the camera is quite comfortable, 4 oz sounds wrong indeed, maybe 1.5-2 lbs. The data is available of various sites to compare.

Just guessing, I'd say it's 3-4 pounds, without any fluid head and camera attachments. It's very light, but rock solid.

Don't know the exact weight but it is pretty heavy. Solid brass and thick glass lens.

It weighs 18 ounces. (1.1lb) It is considered heavy for a super zoom, but I don't find it heavy at all.

It is hard to say.... I am very satisfied with the 18-200mm. The quality is impressive and i don't mind the weight of the camera. It is the only lens I use. If I need additional detail, I can use the available computer software to provide additional zoom. Overall, I am very happy with the camera and lens.

I'd say about a pound to 20 oz. I trashed them about a year ago though when the eyepiece on one side fell apart. Cheap plastic. The optics were good while they lasted (only two years). I replaced them with a pair of Vortex Diamondbacks 8x32 which seem very ruggedly built.

The only lens I have used it with is the 300mmf4 with a 1.4 converter. The weight is not the same but I hope this helps. I do love it and use it all the time....

Don't know the actual weight, but it feels really light for the sturdiness that is has. Even with camera, 3 lenses and accessories it feels very light and comfortable.

I do not know the exact weight. But I had it attached to my wriat during a 10 mile walk through Barbados and it didnt bother me at all. Very light. I purchase a small camera case to protect the lense, and even with the added bulk of the case it is still light and fits into a small purse

Not sure the exact weight but I use it with a Nikon D5100 and a Sigma 150-500mm lens and that is about seven lbs.

The camera, with lens (turned off, so the lens is retracted) measures (Approx.): W x H x D:5 1/8" x 3 3/4" x 4 1/8" (129.6 x 93.2 x 103.2mm) Camera weight is (Approx) (Main unit only) : 1lb 6.0oz (623g) The SD card and battery pack, together, add about 1 ounce (less than 24 g).

I cannot answer in exact pounds but it holds my cannon rebel w/ 200mm lens on it ... now I will say that I have to "aim" a little higher than the object I am shooting. I shoot a lot of the night sky. When I find the object I am shooting, I aim a but above it because upon tightening it, it always settles to a lower position in my view finder. I hope that this helps.
