The following from Gary Reese:

Hi Winsor:

Examination of slides from my various 600mm Zuiko lens tests shows that horizontal blurring is the culprit when not cradling the camera body. That strongly points to shutter vibration, which is to be expected from a low weight body like an OM. Add a motor drive and you've upped the weight. Unfortunately, between 1 sec and 1/8th sec there is nothing that seems to work to effectively eliminate the problem - short of trying to add mass to the camera body itself. I avoid shooting super telephotos within that range of shutter speeds.
