I have been doing hand held shots for more than 6 years. Maybe I am just used to handling this much weight. I don't know. My wife asks me how I can hold this much weight at my age and I don't have an answer for her.
[quote=Regis]It is 6 to 6 1/2 lbs. for the camera and lens together. At 72, I do not work out anymore. Anybody can handle this weight unless one is handicapped or very old.
I think you are being modest! Weight is one thing, steadily holding it along with that much zoom for that clear a shot is no small feat!
Thank You Sue for Looking in and taking the time to comment. Was a fun morning out with Jack. We knew the rain was to come around 9:00 so I guess 8:30 was close. I just thought it would start to sprinkle first so we would have time to get back to the car, but not so, by the time we got back our shirts were soaked. Still it was fun though.
