Re: [OM] Steadying on the tripod or Cable Release?

[Pauls0627]

After experimenting with my 300/4.5 with a 2x-A, I found I got the best 
results by using my left hand to put pressure on top of the lens right at the 
tripod collar, and tripping the shutter carefully with my right hand (no 
cable release, it didn't seem to make much of a difference either way). I 
doubt I made any tests at shutter speeds slower than about 1/60 though, but 
the overwhelming majority of the shots were acceptably sharp to *me*, none 
enlarged past 8x12.

P.S. Is this coming through as plain text (I hope!)?
