Today I used...

A 100-400 lens.

Was at my friends yard taking photographs and the yard owner is a tropical fish photographer. Writes his own articles in magazines etc and has a 7D, 24-70 canon 2.8 and 100-400. He let me have a go at both and I loved it! After 5 minutes my arm was dead using the 100-400 lens but woah. Made me really want one!

Yes it is heavy but worth it for the image quality, well worth the money

yeah, my next purchase might be something like the 50-500mm, always wanting that extra bit of reach

It's always dangerous using someone else's kit

if you think that's heavy you should try the Canon 70-200 IS F2.8 Mk2........!!

That IS even heavier....

Pop it on a monopod, let that take the weight.
