I regularly handhold a 400mm plus A2X-S converter (800mm equivelant). With iso 800 film and good light, I can shoot at 1/1000. But I've had good results at 1/500 as well. Sometimes handheld is desirable when shooting birds on a nature trail, although I do try to use a monopod when I can. Paul Stenquist
