Originally posted by UncleVanya No grip (I own one), da* 16-50, 50-135, 60-250, and 200. All fine on my K-3. Old school film camera taught, group like the others mention cradling body and lens in my left hand.
" cradle " is the missing word
put camera and lens in left hand, " cradle " it, with your thumb to the left, fingers to right of the lens as it extends the palm supporting camera body and lens,
the right hand comes to the camera body and grips it,
thumb for the controls on the back, forefinger for shutter/controls
weight of camera body and lens on left hand only
left elbow tight to the left side of the body/chest not " flying out " to the side
that is how I was taught
