I have handheld shots with my M6 and 50 Summitar at f2 up to ONE second
exposure and people who see the pic are guessing that it was taken at 1/8
sec. shutter speed.

The M camera is virtually vibration free and the weight and design also
makes it steady as a rock.  Shakes usually come from the user.  An SLR is
no match in this respect.
