[QUOTE="Spottydumplings, post: 552247, member: 39844"] If I am shooting fast moving things, like animals or aircraft, with my Sigma 50-500mm I hold it a long way forward like that and change focal length by pushing/pulling the lens barrel; rather that turning the zoom collar, which I find too slow. I'm sure that it's probably not recommended to do it that way but it is far quicker (and easier). The other advantage is that you are supporting the lens much closer to the front, potentially giving more rigidity. [/QUOTE]
