Don't discount potential camera shake from muscle oxygen depletion holding
a much heavier camera up to your eye.
Shake from 35mm SLR mirror slap costs a stop at most, likely less, and IMO
more is made of its effect than it really has. Knowing how to hold a
camera steady makes much more difference. I've shot the OM's with an 85/2
and a 35-105/2.8 at 105mm using 1/30th successfully. Yield is about 50%,
but not from camera shake, it's from extremely shallow depth of field (6
inches or less) and focus error doing it with the lenses wide open.

John,
But an RF can be handheld to much slower speeds due to lack of mirror
slap.. So that makes up an f-stop or 2.. Also, now "bright" my view is
for focusing is not dependent on the lens speed, so another plus..
