The reputation that I have...  It is one very good looking lens,
though.

Tried that.  I'm thinking video tripod/head would be about
perfect.  Need lots of mass to control the vibration.  I believe
the Bogen lens support would be a huge improvement over a
heavier-duty tripod/head, though.

I did one picture where I placed a pillow on the hood of my Jeep
and cradled the lens/camera in that.  It worked better than the
tripod, but was too heavy to carry.  <g>
