Hi i just got to use a Kenyon stabiliser and gave it a go in my livingroom
last night.
For those of you who contemplate using such a strange humming device the
following.
Tried it below a m6 with a standard lens and used agfa scala at its normal
200 rating.
Started at 1/15(i,m an optimist) and f1.0 finished at 1 second and f4.0.
Using a times 6 loupe  i have not been able to tell the stunningly sharp
frames apart except by depth of field and the minolta,s read  out in the
picture.
Tried it outside while walking at 1 second and f1 which gave workable
results.
I,m truly amazed.
One thing i dont understand is the way some tiny halogen ceiling lights show
up on the pictures they have sort of halo,s around them which makes them
look like the type of lights fisherman use at night.much larger then the
lights themselves.
Would any one know if that is normal with large apertures?
Thanks
