I know that this forum isn't that gear centric and I really appreciated that. However, as I don't have the time for multiple forums I hope you can help me out. I'd like to spend some money on new gear, you know
So, I really like my Minolta X-300 and the 50mm f/1.4 lens I have for it. But it's not really possible to go to slower shutter speeds than 1/30th with it, probably due to the mirror (?). With my TLR and my rangefinder I'm able to handhold 1/8th quite comfortably, but focusing with a rangefinder at f/1.8 is really, really hard.
So, I'm wondering if there are any other SLRs that don't shake that much and can be used at slower shutter speeds. I'm sure there are some as I seem to remember that my Minolta is known to vibrate quite a bit.
I don't care if it's metal or plastic like some of the newer cameras as long as it works reliably and has a nice 50mm available for it. Cheap would be nice too, but is not required of course.
