Definitely. The 300mm needs a kind of support. Can be hand-held with a
steady hand, a md and the "pistol grip", but it is not easy....:)
What I meant was also, that the subjects I encounter rarely are so far
away and so small that I need anything much longer than 200mm. Actually,
on my recent trip to Japan, the longest lens I used was 135mm long. The
200mm was there, but rested well in my bag.
