Ok guys,
Need to find out if my principles are sound or if I have gone completely bonkus during my hiatus from photography.
For medium and large formats, we relax the handholdable guideline of 35mm right (you know, the 1/focal length rule). This is because our film sizes are larger, and if we print out to the same size as 35mm film, any camera shake will not be as obvious when compared to the 35mm counterpart cos we magnify less to get the same print and the magnitude of the shake is amortized over our larger film area...
i.e. a 50mm focal length lens
general handhold guideline:
1/75s for APS sensor
1/50s for 35mm film
1/30s for MF
Pls tell me I haven't gone mad...
