I regularly disregard the 1/focal length rule with my SLR when needed with good results. Has anyone here done some handheld tests of their own to see what the actual difference is in the results? Not just 1 photo. You would need to take at least 10 with each to get a reasonable sample, because there is some luck involved. - -- Chris Bitmead http://www.ans.com.au/~chrisb mailto:chrisb@ans.com.au
