Thanks Jeff.
I shoot handheld with a Sony A900 + Minolta 400/4.5 + 1.4x APO TC.
This combo is very sharp and easy to handhold for extended periods.

Thank you Gail. That hummer was very nice to me. I hope he will remain cooperative in the future. :D

Regarding the lens/camera question, please read my reply before.
