[QUOTE="TedG954, post: 513819, member: 9701"] No Michael, I didn't hand-hold the camera and lens. The D800 weighs about 400 pounds and the lens is at least 500 pounds. :p And, while I'm sure someone on here will tell of their handheld 500mm 200 yard shots, it won't be me. Actually the lens is just a little over 5 pounds, and the D800 is 2 pounds, for a total of 7 pounds. While that doesn't sound like much, trying to hold that steady on target is more than I can handle. I wonder if Charlie could manage it...... [ATTACH=CONFIG]189798._xfImport[/ATTACH] For me, this is a tripod-use only, and even then I'll use a remote. I'm sure the VR is fine, but this is not a practical "walk-around" lens. [/QUOTE]
