Is the Lens heavy or light?

It's relatively light because it is a smaller lens, perfect for smaller camcorders!

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.

Compared to my Canon 300mm with doubler plus camera (about 5.5 lbs.) it's really lightweight, I think it's less than a pound. Not quite as good glass and resolution as the Canon setup at full zoom, but competitive. It's not compact like fit in a chest pocket, it would take a fair sized pocket like some jackets have.

Not sure but this lens is very sharp. Somehow it can vibrate a little but the built of the lens is solid. Anyway, no complain as it cheap.

It is definitely heavy -- feels like a lens that would be attached to a larger dslr -- but given the quality, I understand why it is so weighty. There is another lens that they offer that is a 200mm - not sure if the size/weight is the same, but if you need a long range quality lens, this one certainly is worth it. I definitely do use my 16-50mm on most days though.

This lens is the later version. It is much lighter to carry and is both faster and not nearly as heavy. Mine is near new but I am going to sell it only to buy a new prime lens that I want.

Not sure but they are not super heavy. You might want to check the specs. As far as worth the money, YES! I love them!!! They are perfect for me. They are clear and easy to focus.

Maybe 3lbs? Or at least that's what it feels like. It's pretty light. Compared to my old Andis AG2 it's about half the weight.

Depends on what you're looking for? This lens has two stops more light gathering ability and thus much shallower DOF It is much heavier though, but not by any amount that means you can't carry it around all day easily.

I would say that the added weight of a telephoto lens might topple it. It's very light weight.

I've used it with a zoom lens that weighs about 4.5 pounds. I really like it.

Weight approximately 1.5 pounds. So far i find the build quality worth it, and optics worth more than the price. Great deal i believe.

No,the lens is solid from the time I got it. I had for a few years now and love it.

Concerns about weight will be somewhat amusing to those coming from the old film SLR world. A few ounces one way or another simply is irrelevent, even to most backpackers. The choice in lenses alone will make more difference to the total weight than the weight of this camera versus any similar product.If weight is a real concern, the current generations of point and shoot do a very, very good job and are obviously much lighter.

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.

No way, I don't have the lens with me today, but it surely is closer to about 1 pound, packing material and box should still bring it under 3 lbs.

Somewhat light. I wouldn't think of it has heavy myself. However, thats my opinion.
