Re: PESO: Feet

It has a tripod mount. It's easily removable, so I leave it off for  
hand holding. The only time I've used it on a tripod was when testing/ 
adjusting the autofocus. It's easily handholdable. Feels good. At  
60mm, it's about the same length as the DA*50-135, but a bit fatter.  
It extends another seven inches or so at 250mm. The extension is solid  
as a rock. Zero wobble. I find it's a natural in terms of handhold. It  
balances beautifully with the K20D and battery grip.

Make that it extends another 2.5 inches or so at 250 mm. Brain fade.  
Although it's a substantial lens, it's relatively compact. And it's  
built like a tank.
