Gary, I have only limited experience so far, but I am not finding a significant difference in handholding the 67II vs. 35mm. 1/focal length rule can still apply. Be aware that since the focal lengths are twice as long for the same FOV, your shutter speeds will need to be a bit faster than the FOV for 35mm.
I can say that it is less difficult to handhold than I was led to believe by many people's comments (none of the brotherhood, however). After my trip to Hawaii, I plan to use it much more often. Handheld or on a monopod makes for a reasonable load.

With the 90mm lens (I assume that's the "normal" lens GJS> for this format), what's the lowest shutter speed you can hand-hold at? GJS> (I'm assuming the 67 is substantially heavier than a 35mm.)
