Never had a problem or sensed I might be hurting the lens using it that way. My Tamron 150-600 feels like it might not like it when I do that though. Might be fine, but it really feels like the mechanism is being stressed. So I don't use it that way.

I think I remember you posting that before. Still don't like the way it feels though. I don't know what the mechanism actually looks like, but it feels like a set of fine tooth plastic gears, that aren't happy with being driven that way.

I tried the push/pull technique shooting kid soccer handheld with that lens. It was too awkward for me to have my left hand holding the tip of the lens. The lens is so long that It is kind of like sticking your left arm fully extended in front of you for an hour. Your arm starts to fall asleep. If I had a monopod maybe that would make the technique work OK. 5Diii | 50D | 8-15L 4| 16-35L 2.8 II| 24-70L 2.8 II | 70-200L 2.8 IS II |Tamy 150-600 | Σ35Art 1.4 | 40 2.8 | Σ50Art 1.4 | 85L 1.2 II | 100 2.8 Macro | Helios 44-3 58mm f2.0 |Helios 40-1 85mm f1.5 | 1.4x & 2x teleconverters

DAA Senior Member 315 posts Likes: 23 Joined May 2011 Location: Utah More info | Sep 30, 2014 14:09 | #13 For me, with my Tamron, shooting wildlife and needing to go quickly from 150 to 600, the ring takes more travel than I can usually get in one twist, so "going quickly" doesn't really go so quickly. It becomes an awkward movement. Push pull is the only way to fly in that situation, IMO. But I get the shot (or don't...) and I'm done for awhile until another target presents itself. Not like I'm playing a set with a trombone and having to hold it up like that for any extended period.
