I agree. That's why I finished by saying I'll adapt. This goes on all the time in photography as we learn, in detail, the foibles of each camera/lens. I was surprised, though, as to how extensive the issue was - effecting so many of my key lenses when I tried to work out why they were a little soft. I'm sure this is likely to be a factor in my negative opinion of the FA43 in particular. Today, I will work on a work around technique ...

Originally posted by dms How the mass distribution/its nature affects things can be hard to know, but it may be useful attaching a mass to the K-1. For example a tripod head and/or the battery grip (you mention the monopod helping). Whether you actually want to carry the camera that way is of course relevant, but still it may be useful to know/be a fall back. Also I would think how you hold the camera would have an effect, as the hands (and possibly the face) should be able to absorb quite some recoil.
Interestingly, I tried many different handheld positions, including Joe Mcnally's arm twister. I tend to default to Joe's method as I do find it can buy a little more stability at times ...
