No VR/IS on this one lads. It's all in the form and how you wrap your hands around it! And to think some people need IS at 17mm. http://static.flickr.com/26/66759796_b68fb2603e_o.jpg Rita > No VR/IS on this one lads. It's all in the form and how you wrap your > hands > around it!

Looks like a beanbag to me with a nice depression in it where the lens was resting, or someone else's lens was resting.

With a bit of practice it is no big deal. But I have to admit that putting it on a monopod makes for a much more relaxed experience. SignatureThat was it. Done. The faulty Monk was turned out into the desert where it could believe what it liked, including the idea that it had been hard done by. It was allowed to keep its horse, since horses were so cheap to make. -- Douglas Adams in Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency > A 300/2.8 plus a TC-14 and a D1 is also about 4 kg (but 420mm instead > of 500). With a bit of practice it is no big deal. You got it! The way some people in here talk you would think that's it's not possible to get great results handholding the long ones. If a frail little thing like that can do it there's no reason some of these pussies can't handhold a 17mm on an FF sensor Canon 5D. > But I have to admit that putting it on a monopod makes for a much more > relaxed experience. Yep, that or the good old beanbag or cinderblock. Rita |
