Just a quick question about how you hold yours (if you know what I mean)?
Many a years ago a fiend of mine who was into shooting made some suggestions about holding things steady that I still use. As to whether its the best technique is probably debateable but it works for me.
Breathing - normal reaction is to breath in and hold, my friend suggested this was opposite of best option, basically breath out and hold.
Lens grip - I use to hold the lens very close to the camera body, my friend again suggested this wasn't best technique as a small movement would give larger movement at front of lens. His suggestion hold lens as far forward as is comfortable. Interestingly I've seen some pro photographers holding the hood on long telephoto lenses.
I adapted to these suggestions ages ago and still use.
