With M cameras. Easier with 35mm and below. The best I can get with
my Nikons is a 15th consistantly.
Of course, when you start to get up over 80mm it gets
harder....although it can be done.
This is the kind of thing you learn (or have) to do working in daily
photojournalism. Sometimes it make the difference between getting a picture
or not.
