Not like other contemporary lenses, this heavy Zeiss has no AF nor IS/OS/VR so handheld shooting is really tough task, and it may take time to get an acquaintance to huge\'n\'heavy combo( Canon, Nikon, Sony ). I have a Mamiya 50mm ULD, and a Hassy 250mm SA have the same weight as this, my solution for this is a pistol grip with trigger that plays as a remote shutter. The right hand holds the grip, the index finger on the trigger, the left hand on the focus ring.When the camera beeps ( AF on ) pull slowly but firmly the trigger. Just\'s my 1$.Goodluck.
