Hey all, I've been wondering about camera shake -
The recommendation is that you should not go slower than 1/focal length, soo for a 300mm lens I shouldn't dream of shooting at anything slower than 1/300th.
My questions is what happens with crop-factor cameras ? my dSLR has a crop factor of 1.6x making my 300mm lens the equivalent of about 480mm. Does this mean that I should stay above
1/300
or
1/500
I know I could work this out by trial and error (if I had my lens with me - its
860 miles away atm) but I thought other people might be wondering the same thing so I've posted it here.
Thanks
