Me! I do! But my long tele's are rather modest ones.
My SMCK 400mm f5.6 has a bit too stiff of a focus for the
riflestock approach, but my old Petri 400mm f6.3 "stovepipe
design" is very light and slender and works very well that
way. The old c.'63 Takumar 300mm f4 also does, despite its
3.5pound weight! Using TMZ makes for the ability to use very fast
shutter speeds and greatly enhances the %age of successful shots.
