I did some tests a while ago, pushing myself and the K200d. Here were the results:




300mm @ F/5.8, 1/4 shutter speed

crop:



handheld, no support whatsoever.

I'd say its acceptably sharp, could help from some PP, and is pretty usable for me

(FYI - The K200d is VASTLY superior to the K-7 in regards to SR efficiency which is slightly irritating)

35mm film or no SR 1/FL
Medium format twice that usually (rarely try and shoot below 1/125 on medium format w/o a tripod)

Sr on 1/1.5-2xfl but in reality the best i've achieved is about 1/13 and would rather be minimum 1/25 and up. subject motion becomes an issue in any case and for landscapes i prefer a tripod where possible

If you're shooting a static image and brace yourself, shoot between breaths and have a steady hand, I'm sure you can go very low, like 2/FL. However, if there are any people in your shot who are moving, I'd shoot at 1/(FLx2.5).
