The _real_ difficulty with this lens is that it fits nicely in the palm of your hand. So the temptation to use it that way, despite numerous examples of it not working, is very high.

FWIW, the anti-shake system in the Minolta 7D and 5D DSLRs works with any lens. I tried it with my 500/8 mirror and it worked just fine. So hand holding mirrors with these two cameras, and forthcoming cameras with anti-shake in the bodies, is practical.
