Thanks for the correction, Bryan.
Hey, is that a Mackie? Nice!

I regularly hand hold shots down to 1/10 of a second at focal lengths
below 50mm. I have more than a couple of 1/4s shots that are very
sharp and even a 1/2s shot that was usable. At wide focal lengths SR
is very, very good.

Someone here recently recommended that I try shooting at 1/80. I’ve been

Most of my photography these days is in really poor light, with
practice you can hand hold at very low speeds, generally subject
movement is what determines the quality of the result. rules be
damned.
This shot was made using a K3, hand held whilst sitting in a chair
shooting over my shoulder,
That is indeed what I meant. Sorry for the typo.

To put things in perspective, KEH.com has the Pentax A 28mm f2.8 in EX
condition right now for $99 and BGN for $79.

I agree. It seems like a relatively inexpensive way of achieving the
full frame DOF look at least for 1.5x those focal lengths.

Thanks, Darren. I will have to be content with my A 28/2.8, which is not hard
to do, as I’m quite fond of it anyway.

28mm is actually normal on APS-c. To get to wide angle you need at
least 24mm. Now the K 30mm f2.8 is better optically than almost all of
the 28mm lenses Pentax made. There is a 28mm M/A at f2.0 and a K version
with a different optical formula. God knows what those sell for they
are pretty
