Nikon Lense - the $64,000 dollar question

[Spectrum]

Since the advent of VR/IS/OS and other stabilising technology, it has since become indispensable, so much so that the photographer complains when his 50mm does not come equipped with VR.

There's nothing like good handholding technique, and it's something worth training on. At least if your VR goes bust in the middle of a shoot, you can still pull off decent shots, rather than surrender on the spot.

That is still why I train for a situation when I don't have Image Stabiliser (IS), but use IS when the opportunity arises.

But, if you reached a certain age. IS/VR/OS is very important here as your hand will shake a lot more than before. I believed that you are still young, right?

True, but some of the older guys around here are really rock solid.

Practise, practise, practise. Best done with a 200mm lens using 1/20s. ;p

Like wise here I dont have problems with heavy camera / lens combinations my first camera was a Pentax ME Super with a 35 to 135 lens and weighed in like a building brick and I can still hold it steady now ( somehow for my personal use a heavier camera/lens setup sits more comfortably and handles better than a lighter one, dont ask me why :dunno: ) although I prefer handholding I do use a tripod when its necessary .
