I find with my F-300mm f4.5 and Z1p that I have to use the 2s mirror-up at speeds as high as 1/125 or even 1/180. When I first got the F-300mm f4.5, I thought it was somewhat soft wide open. But I soon found out that it was that darn Z1p mirror slap and slower speeds. I later got a MZ-S & I can go 1/60 or even 1/45 without much trouble.
The MZ-S has WAY less vibration than the ME Super (I have one). It's has the softest shutter/mirror slap that I've ever tried. Give one a spin. Actually you might want one after that...
