If possible I'd try to use the most stable tripod you can get. My Manfrotto
is fine for most stuff but this exercise obviously tested it !
Unfortunately at an effective f16 (2xf8) the shutter speed wasn't high
enough. Focussing this setup is another problem ! I can't remember for
sure, but from memory these shots were taken on a day with just a light
breeze. The E-300 was triggered with a remote release.
The images with the Tamron 500/8 mirror are better than the zuiko 300 + 2xA
and I believe that is just a mechanical effect, the Tamrom being much
shorter and lighter will not tend to move as much on the tripod.
