This has been a tough morning shooting the water front with the bulk of the shoting with the 70-180. And quite frankly it is becoming heavier each day. I neer thought I would be shooting with a monopod holding up a puny little 70-180 zoom lens and body, but there I was plinking away with a monopod taking the weight. :) Oh well maybe I'll have more frames without the funny little shaky look to them. :) ted
