Just for grins I shot images (landscapes) one hand-held and the other on a tripod tripped with a cable release. At 1/250th there is a subtle loss of detail in the hand-held shot. Made a believer out of ME. I'm trying to find the limits I can achieve and this is one way. But I'm not a street photographer either. I haven't done the same with a monopod but I'm going to do that as well. I'd expect the results to be better than hand-held but not as good as a tripod although probably very close. Many fewer degrees of freedom. Someday I'd like to try medium format. Adam - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
