Well, lets see, with an OM S 2, winder 2, BG2 and I'm assuming a flash.  Did 
you have the C cells in the grip?  I guess it would be a little hard to hand 
hold and if you are using the flash, shooting at 1/60th.  Depending on what you 
were shooting, I'd say dang near impossible.  What might be worth a try is 
using the little palm grip gizmo that Tamron sells for their 300mm f2.8 or 
400mm 
f4 lens.  Depending on what I am doing, I tend to have a tripod underneath my 
camera probably 900f the time.  Bill Barber
