Carl E Posted February 9, 2011 Share #21 Posted February 9, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) In the old days the rule of thumb was "1 / focal length", e.g you could reasonably expect unblurred pictures at 1/30 sec with a 35 mm or 28 mm lens and at 1/60 sec with a 50 mm. With a cropped sensor like the M8 one would have to take into account the crop factor, so the rule would translate as "1 / (crop * focal length)" to allow for the fact that the effective viewing angle of a lens is smaller with a cropped sensor. Then, of course, it depends on how steady you are able to hold the camera as many of the posters have already commented. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

underground Posted February 10, 2011 Share #22 Posted February 10, 2011 Hi, I am a new owner of the M7, my first rangefinder and I have the following question: what is the slowest shutter speed I can use without seeing camera shake. I am using it with a 28mm f2.8 asph lens. Thanks. Steve Welcome to the world of M7. you will have to go out and test your skills, and see how slow you can go. If you take a decent dose of morphine you might make it to the bulb setting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
