OK, I'll give a try at proving that.
How about hand held on a live (moving around) insect in the field with a 38
mm (and indeed flash)?
www.kalmeijer.net/snuit.html or www.kalmeijer.net/sluipw.html and I've got
several more where these came from, this kind of is my standard lens (*hand
held*).
On the very rare occasion that I use this lens on a trypod, it would be
indoors, doors and windows closed (no wind at all) and on very dead
subjects. There is no way you can follow a moving subject with this lens on
a trypod (and now someone is going to prove I'm wrong here). OK, maybe a
good 3D focusing stage would help. I personally seem to be able to move a
trypod only in increments of at least a centimeter. Moving it a millimeter
seems to be done by bumping it back and forth a few times until you reach
the exact position you want it at.
