at that length, you normally never use remote releases or mirror lockup. you hold the lens near the tripod mount and use your face against the body for damping. also, you try never to shoot under 1/500s. the long fast lenses are going to be used wide open almost all of the time anyway. that's why you bought one. the vibration from a winder or motor drive isn't significant if you have the rest of the system's vibration under control. naturally, you will have a sufficient tripod so that the legs don't ring and cause oscillation of the lens system.
