Sorry, but I don't own an M camera, and have not since my M3ds, and
CL, lo those many years ago. I hate to admit it, but I used the
replacement for my R8/DMR. Namely, the Olympus E3, with their 50~200
f2.8-3.5 zoom. To be honest, a really nice combination that also
takes my R-lass via adapters. All wide open, at ISO 640.

It's true! Dr. Ted told "his" group, that they should expect to be
able to hand hold 1/15th... though I doubt many can.
Cheers, from a snowy Logan Lake.
