WHAT?! a 500 f/4 weight like 7 or 8 pounds!


I'm talking about holding a 7D or 50D by the right side camera grip with 70-200 or something comparable mounted and NOT having my other hand on the lens at all... obviously I will for stabilizing when I'm shooting, and for zooming, but I mean just here and there to not have both hands on it. Normally, if I use one hand, I use my LEFT hand under the lens and take my right hand off the camera.. but I'm wondering if it's okay to do the reverse.


Please don't tell me you do what I'm talking about with a 500 f/4! ha!
