I think whoever wrote that is really out to lunch. I'd love to hear where you
read it, if you remember.
I have extensive outdoors experience with medium format. I have used SLRs like
the RZ and RB and have never been able to get truly sharp prints at less than
1/250. I have also used RF and TLRs woth more success; with a Mamiya 7 and C330
I was able to go down to about 1/60 pretty well. A lot has to do with the
substantial mirror slap of MF SLRs.
With 35mm SLRs I can do 1/30 pretty easily and 1/15 if I really concentrate.
With Leica M it's 1/15 and 1/8. Again, probably the mirror is the difference.
Taking the below to its ultimate conclusion, if I mount an 8x10 view camera on
a shoulder stock I can shoot at 1/2 second since a contact print is not
enlarged at all!

The idea is that you would have to enlarge the print less
so less movement would be evident.>>
