Remember also that if your 28-50mm lens is zoomed to 50mm, the reciprocal rule would suggest 1/60, so adding a stop would bring you to 1/125. Thanks for your comment and advice, John.

It works very well. Also keep in mind that mirror and shutter vibration will usually make a 28mm shot at 1/30 somewhat shaky in the detail. I usually add 1 stop to the reciprocal formula. (e.g., shoot at a 1/60 for 28-50mm lenses). I have used the reciprocal rule for years. It works very well.

I am going to amend the article to discuss Image Stabilization and Vibration Reduction. Thanks :) @tukangmoto,
