Thank you very much for the suggestion Jim, talking
about lenses it is not the weigh only, it's the lens
focal length too, I can assure that even if you can
hold a 200mm steadly, minimal movements are increased
very much and you can obtain sharper photographs with
a light 80mm or 50mm even if you can't hold the camera
steadly because the movements are not evident or they
are less evident on the film. I have tried supporting
arms and similars in the past for heavy teles and they
diminish the movement, however the improvement is not
impressive and they required time to mount, room in
your bag or out of your bag and I finally  preferred
to hold the lens with my left hand, or, if it was the
case, to put the camera on a tripod or the tele on a
monopod directly; in example these two photographs
were taken with the SL 35M and the 200mm Rolleinar MC
camera handheld at slow shutter speeds for a 200mm,
the second one at 1/60 f3,5:
