I've used the A* 300/2.8 both hand-held and on a monopod. Hand-held, it's really not all that difficult for me to use, assuming that the light is not too dim (requiring less than quick shutter speeds). I've also used it hand-held with the A 2X-L in bright light, too. Of course, the above comments are relative in a way - I used to own an A* 600/5.6, and used that hand-held in bright light a few times, and that was substantially more difficult (although possible). Certainly, the 300/2.8 with a 2X TC on it (resulting in 600mm at f/5.6) is significantly easier to hand-hold than is the big 600/5.6. Fred
