Not if ya focusses and zooms and sets the f-thing before ya puts the lens in
the yoke! Only takes a second.
Seriously, that's rarely much of a real problem, particularly with longer
lenses, which are the only justification I can find for using a monopod in the
first place. I have done it this way with the 50/2, 35-80/2.8, 100/2, 180/2.8,
300/4.5, 400/6.3, and 500/8 Zuikos, 28-105/2.8, 90/2.8 1:1 macro and 80-200/2.8
Tamrons. I've never tried the 300/2.8 Tamron this way, since, if I've got to
lug it out of sight of the OM-4Runner, I might as well tote a real tripod too.
But never more than 500 yards.
