I have been into RF cameras ( Zeiss Contax ) since 1963. SLR's since 1965. I do use a tripod when possible. I do not expect my shots from long lenses to be terribly successful without the tripod. Maybe because I shake too much.... so....Having said that, Ted's advice on building up the upper body is a good one. However, other than 1 writer who suggested the use of NO back and forth focusing to get it right, I have not had too many suggestions. You might think a 300 F2.8 is bright... you are right, it is very bright in the VF. But that does help the small DOF, but there nust be a few more tricks the pros can give us..... VF screens? Since we are all Leica enthusiasts, a Leica recommendation would be nice, but maybe something for us Nikon fans? Ditto the Canon folk out there..... Are there other tricks to help us out?
