It's the sort of a rule "rule" you know...that kind of thing.. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Basically,..it's the "hand holding rule".. that every milimeter equals ≈ that value of a fraction of a second.. ....Gosh..... Ok... for a 35mm lens, you shouldn't hand hold it less than 1/30th of a second.. a 50mm lens.. shouldn't be held for less than a 45th of a second.. an 85mm lens,...shouldn't be held longer than a 90th of a second.....a 300mm lens shouldn't be hand held for less than a 250ths of a second.... do you follow..?
That is "the rule"..
