<p>I use a monopod with a cheap ball head free to rotate. I can shoot 1 sec almost sharp, 0.1 sec is sharp (processed by Phase One!). VR is not much bothered by a monopod with a faint body motion. Use only raw files!<br>

As to other names, there are auto focusing problems... Search the internet for some tests.<br>

Have fun.</p>

<p>Michael, please do not let yourself be bothered by technicaly insignificant issues. I am sure that this photo is positively unique by any standards, in spite of the fact that it is not perfect. If you have the raw (jpg will also do but at a lesser extent) image I sugest viewing it with Phase One. The first time I used it I simply did not recognize my own photos. Just be sure to remove any noise treatment and the images will be as sharp as possible. At any rate, my best photos are far from sharp. Human emotion is a strage mix of perfection and imperfection. Bottom line, pity I cannot claim I photograped it. Go on being an emotion catcher.</p>
