Nice. What lens? Sigma 50-150/2.8?
Yeah. At first I was hesitant. I actually almost took the lens back. I had trouble with getting sharp photos at human shutter speeds (1/90-180) since the lens is not stabilized.
The trouble was that it was waaay heavy on the D90, and the balance was off, resulting in camera shake.
I purchased a Zeikos grip for the D90, and stuffed it full of 6 Eneloops. That gave me an extra 300g on the camera side, as well as one more finger for the normal grip, and a very comfortable portrait grip.
Now I have no trouble handholding the 50-150, and see that it's a superb lens. Mine also doesn't suffer from any misfocus at all. Even at 150mm @ f/2.8, it still focuses perfectly.
Interestingly, I find the camera much easier to hold now, despite the weight increase.
