Ted, I've been reading these user accounts of the RW with great interest and
you've almost got me to buy one. I just want to know- have you used it with
a front-heavy lens such as the Noctiux? How is the balance with that
combination? And how slow can you go handheld before you feel you need to
support the lens with your left hand?
