You have no hope in hell of getting sharp photos shooting at 200 mm at 1/15 to 1/60th of a second without a tripod. You might as well use a pop bottle. The lens would make no difference at that speed. A wide angle maybe even the 50 mm but anything longer and you're only kidding yourself. You can't blame the lens at that shutter speed.

I shot an indoor event with a 50, a 135, and mostly with my SMC 200/2.5K, all shots at f/2.8 to f/5.6, with shutter speeds ranging from 1/15 to 1/60 second. This roll is easily the sharpest I've ever shot indoors without flash. And why? Because I used a KX, mostly with mirror lockup, instead of a Super Program. Three months ago I sold my 85/2M because it disappointed me as soft under such conditions. Now I realize that I was probably getting too much camera vibration. I loved using the 85/2 outdoors.>> - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
