This is definitely one instance where your mileage will vary, and some individual
experimentation might be in order. Personally, I find that with sufficiently slow
shutter speeds and/or high magnification, any contact I have with the
camera-tripod assembly will cause unwanted movement or vibration. OTOH, there are
plenty of instances where your subject doesn't remain stationary long enough to
lock down everything, but even in these situations it is often possible to use a
remote release by holding it in one hand that is also doing something else (such
as holding the lens). This is a little technique I've used ever since I
discovered that simply pressing the shutter button can produce a small but
significant amount of camera movement (both vertical and rotational) when the
camera is on a tripod.
