Well it started as partial. Then I picked up (in my hands) a 300 mm f2.8 and 500 mm f4
Nikon: 300mm f 2.8G ED VR II AF-S NIKKOR 2.9 kg
Canon: EF 300mm f 2.8L IS II USM 2.4 kg
Nikon: AF-S 500mm 4.0G IF-ED VR 3.88 kg
Canon EF 500mm F4.0 L IS II USM 3.19 kg
I can walk 20 k with either the 300 or 500 without really feeling it ... the Niko 500 was never an option in the wild.
And then I got an offer for exchange that I could not refuse. To be honest the systems are very similar except where particular special lenses exist on one side or the other. I seem to be opposed to the majority in finding the flash system from Canon slightly better (at least as far as the ring flashes are concerned).

If I walked 20km I wouldnt feel anything either...especially my legs.
