I made her a little tent to watch 30,s cartoons from and made myself a contraption i wouldn,t want to take out on the street. It was prompted a bit by the recent discussions on low shutter speeds. What i did was to put a small Kenyon gyroscopic stabiliser underneath my 180 R lens and used that with a 1.4 extender. Luckily i have large hands so could still just move the focusing ring with a finger. Our sickness makes us both a bit slow so that helped. To my suprise it worked to about 1/4 second or so .These three are at 1/6 th 1/4 and 1/2 second. All with an indicated aperture of 3.4 which with the 1.4 extender should really be 2.8 according to Ted. http://www.leica-gallery.net/apekop/image-76419.html best regards simon jessurun amsterdam
