Do You find the RF 100-500 Control Ring Placement Awkward?

The Control Ring for the 100-500 is placed virtually next to the camera mount.

Using it requires moving the left hand from supporting the lens to a position virtually against the camera body.

The lens is claimed be be light weight, but at slightly over 1.5kg (3lbs) with the bulk of the weight in the front half.

For me, using the control ring for say exposure compensation, means that I can't support an extended lens and keep the subject easily in the shot.

Is it just me ... or have other users come up with solutions?

Thanks
