Got the camera 350D and the sigma APO lens but not the DG version like Marcel has just ordered. find the weight of it hard to steady at distance with the small 350D, especialy while panning but im getting better at it. Thinking of changing to somthing with IS as this would make up for operator shake :icon_redf (DT's)
Slowly is definitely the way forward. It takes practice and time mate, I still need to improve on my panning skills, the F1 practice session I shot a while ago reminded me of that and more recently a shoot at a triathlon brought my weaknesses to the fore.

A Battery grip will help improve your comfort with the camera and also reduce your wobbles. The added weight might seem to be negative but the benefits outweigh the cons.

I am glad that you found your way here...eventually Obviously you know about the politics from the old place and I now have no access at all there, its no biggy just a shame it had to end that way.

I guess that makes it even better when an old face finds their way here to say hello.
