Are you saying that if you can handhold a 'head and sholders portrait' with a 90mm lens at 1/125s then that means you can handhold a 'head and sholders portrait' with a 2000mm lens at 1/125s? Something isn't right here. Maybe I'm misinterpreting what is being said. P.S. Sorry Ted. (plus it dark out and I don't use twinky flashes)
