Still marvel at your handholding Jeff.

I photographed a tawny owl in my garden yesterday. It sat perfectly still looking straight at me. My handheld 450mm shots looked like it was doing a Salsa in a hurricane.

Not going to be displayed!


basically eric its that 300mm f4 lens ,nice and light even with t.c's fitted .i also have a manfrotto tripod plate attached permanently and this provides a good grip for my hands .i am finding that focus point wanders a bit with the new camera as its lighter and i think a battery grip will change the centre of gravity in my favour again ,probably half the trouble with nikons lenses they are front heavy .o.O
