I was hand-holding my1D mkIV, 600mm mkI + 1.4x TC a couple of days ago and can confirm it's heavy.

LOL. I was photographing peregrines and using a gimbal is just not good enough at the speed they move. I guess about a minute or two was the absolute max I had the camera to my eye before getting major wobbles and arm pain.
Cracking start to owning a new lens. You won't regret your purchase but you will always wonder " should I have waited for a 600mm". Beware though the mk1 600 is very heavy!
I'm very jealous! Even though I have muscles that make the Greek Gods look like famine victims, I would love to have a much lighter 600 f4.
Haha Yes. Im afraid Ill get tired of the weight, even though its not as heavy as the 600/4i, and change to a 500/4ii later on - but should that be the case, then at least I wont need to wonder anymore, what a 600/4ii would be like.
I just saw the title of this thread and I cannot *not* give the the correct answer. The answer is no. Happiness over a period of several years is essentially a genetic trait, so a single physical item cannot in the long term make you any more or less happy. (and now you are going to tell me that you really did not mean the question that literally B )

You are quite right, you cannot give the right answer!
"Happiness over a period of several years is essentially" a Canon 800 F5.6 L IS, adding a 1DX makes me even happier for longer!
When the world is falling apart around me I can always comfort myself with my toys.
Yes I am a bit of a materialist!:-O
