Should I expect any problems? I did the test with the longest lens I owned at the time. Vibration problems are quite dependant on focal length. Also, the problem really only seems to show up at speeds from 1/60 to about 1/4. Shorter than that seems OK, and slower than that also seems OK. The problem with the Manfrotto tripods is that the tubing "rings". If you dampen the legs, the problem should be much less apparent. Even a bungee cord wrapped around all three legs at the top locks should fix most problems relating to shutter/mirror vibration. William Robb - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
