Thanks for the pointer -- it's one of those things that I guess I knew, but
had never consciously thought about; making the effort to take up most of
the motion before the final click really helps to stabilise it and avoid the
'stab' that I'd otherwise end up doing.
I think paying attention to exactly where the critical point is makes a big
difference, rather than just assuming it's down there somewhere.. Very neat,
and one more easy thing that should (hopefully) help to reduce the blur..
