RE: some ! Leica using photographers...

See how I rest my left hand on the lens in the portrait? That's one trick to a sharp shot, especially with a tripod. I do that especially with the 400mm Telyt - there's no IS to help with shake.
The other trick I use with the Telyt is a monopod. Lean yourself against some vertical support to minimize horizontal shaking, and the monopod takes care of vertical shake.

I tried in vain to shoot some birds with a 400/4 Tele-Tessar. I don't know
if it is the lens or the focus or the camera shake. I couldn't do anything
worth a damn!

Jeffery:
Yeah, it's the 400mm f/4 DO IS. Sometimes I use an EF 1.4X II converter.

Or the Leitz 400mm f/6.8 Telyt. Both are good setups for squirrel nuts...
