What I am seeing on the Luminous Landscape site is a shutter vibration problem with long lenses. How people manage to take this information and apply it to much shorter lenses is beyond me. My longest lens is the 105mm f2.4. I have used the 200mm f4 on a couple of occasions. I've only had issues with lack of sharpness at 1/30 sec when hand-holding, and virtually never when using MLU. Looking at my negs and transparencies and the prints made from them, I'd say that I have far more trouble with inaccurate focus than with camera shake, as the 20x24 of my brother on the beach that's up on the wall at my store will attest (the sand in front of him is sharp as a tack, but if you get really close to the print you can see that he's a little tiny bit soft, but it's unnoticeable at 11x14). It was shot 1/125 f8 hand-held. People who say you can't hand-hold a Pentax 67 either can't hand hold a 35mm either, or have never used one. -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
