In a recent discussion with a highly regarded photographer, 
I happened to ask him about the incredible sharpness of his
phtographs. As a bit of background info - 3x4 foot murals
of his still had the clarity and detail of an 11x14 inch
print. But to get back on track, this photographer told
me that other than having very close temperature tolerances
during development, he felt that the mirrors in today's 
SLR's caused enough vibration at shutter speeds less than
1/250 to cause blurriness. He uses a Leica rangefinder.
Does anyone have any other ideas about getting really,
and I mean really, sharp negatives (35mm)?  Or any other
discussion?
