Hello,
There is a question that has been in my mind for a long time. Searched, but can't find exact answer. Finally plug up my courage to ask all:
It is well known that the slowest hand held shutter speed is 1/focal length, i.e. if I am using focal length of 50mm, then my slowest shutter speed should be 1/50 or faster to avoid hand shakes.
Now this is certainly no problem when we apply the principle to a FF camera.
But let's say if we are using a 1.6x crop camera instead, and in this case a focal length of 50mm will be equivalent to a 80mm.
So how do we apply this theory? Would the slowest possible hand held shutter speed be 1/50 or 1/80 in this case?
Thanks to all for answering this seemingly simple question, but one that has bothered me for a long time.
