If I had the budget for it, and the need for the 600mm or the 800mm, I would get it. But I think I can only afford the 300mm Haha.

As for the mount...

Because the mount is just in the way.. When you're holding it in free hand.!

And if you have it at the bottom, you have nowhere to hold the lens, and supporting it via the mount is just too unstable. Your pictures will be shaky. Also it works as the handle when you're walking or putting it down.

What Im saying is that it's only down when you have a monopod or a tripod for it to mount in on.
