Daniel, Welcome aboard. Just ignore the occasional flame war, it's a great list.
I do not have the new DA 40mm lens, but can point you to these test shots I did with the DA 16-45 mm zoom at 45 mm. They compare shots at 1/8th second and F4, with and without shake reduction. I'd say 1/8th second is do-able, maybe even 1/4th with the smaller 40 mm. The zoom used here is a 3 inch long lens and will be subject to more shake than the smaller 40 mm. http://picasaweb.google.com/rf.sullivan/ShakeReductionPentaxK10D Regards, Bob S.
