Handheld... wow. Not bad sharpness and the noise is within reason. I was chasing these guys yesterday with the 500mm and 1.4x. They are very photogenic little birds especially the way they pose like this. Just messing around I was trying to handhold the 500 and lots of guys claim to use it as a flight lens. I don't see how.
