My 60 mm lens provides a nice crisp image provided the R camera is steady on a tripod and not being wagged around by the writer. In comparing the Leica cameras and lenses versus the Hasselblad cameras and lenses, not only is the tripod a necessity, but the mirror raising feature is also employed to further reduce "blur." Does anyone have direct experience with the gyro devices that are supposed to steady the camera? If so, a post in regard to their effectiveness would be most appreciated.
