Way to go Henning, awesome camera handling even with IS ability.

I believe the "longest lens - longest shutter speed" I ever hand held was
the Leica Telyt 560 6.8 at a 1/15, with shoulder stock and motor drive with
micro switch.

But one is really shooting via the Hail Mary's and all other spiritual help
on their side for success. :-)
