To me, the weight is what's significant.? I have the old Leica Telyt-R 250/4, which is about the same length, but weighs 3# instead of 4#, and I have shot it hand-held, with monopod and with tripod, and now I almost always use a tripod.? It is a handfull and a load on old arms when using it by hand.? Electric focusing could make a significant difference, perhaps.
