Could someone please expand a bit on that topic ? A while ago, I've been 
responsible for a wet lab activity in a college, and we had a Pentax K1000 
for 15 students, so I generaly let them use my own OM-1 as well to speed up 
the turnover a bit. Clearly, while pentax pictures were "good enough", OM 
pics were always a bit sharper. So I'm wondering under which circumstances 
that vibration "bug" would show ; maybe on landscape pictures, tripod 
mounted, long exposures ? But then, why would so many astrophotographers give 
an arm and a leg to get an OM today ? I'm confused.
