Solid and wieldy, the lens weighs 1.6 pounds and measures 5.6" long when fully retracted; considering the reach, it’s a relatively portable lens that fits comfortably in most camera bags for travel. The ribbed body is easy to handle, as is the knurled control ring. A zoom lock switch helps to prevent accidental extensions.
