(If you ever get your hands on a M6-J, you'll be even more impressed ...) My "most hand-held" story of the last months happened in Venice: end of the day, shooting the lagoon in evening colors from the moving vaporetto (trying to hold the camera as soft as possible to avoid to transmit the "sounds" of the ship's engine to the camera) 1/15 s with the 50 mm lens fully opened. Results: great color slides, fairly sharp (I was impressed by them; I hadn't dared to hope to produce such sharp images ...). The M6 is the one and only camera I grab when the light of the day vanishes ... (And, by the way, as I passed 40 years several months ago and therefore feel like becoming old and shaky, the thing I like second best is my Monostat monopod; it's by far faster and less heavy than a tripod and it's also great for securing 1/8 s with my big 6x7 Pentax if needed ...)
