That gave me a light body/lens combination for walkabout shots. Some shots had evidence of shake even at 1/60 which I thought would have been o.k. I am talking small amounts, so small you might think it was a focus issue. tripod tests proved it wasn't the lens or focussing. In autoISO options I then set a conservative minimum shutter speed of 1/100 and the shake issues went away. I also have an 85mm prime and don't trust hand holding that below 1/150. I guess most will all say 'use a tripod', but I'm curious as to how slow you can go with prime lenses hand held on the D750 and whether I need to improve my technique?I started looking at VR zoom lenses, even though the lenses would require some post correction. My favorite at the moment is the Nikkor 24-85 with minimum shutter set to 1/30. I can easily get sharp shots without shake but always push up shutter speed at max zoom.  Hand held propped against a wall I think I could go even slower. It seems a pity that Nikon don't offer their prime lenses with VR and I've not found anybody else doing them?  For hand held shooting it seems you cannot always take full advantage of an expensive fast prime lens, when you have to compromise minimum shutter speed with DOF limitations at larger apertures.Are big expensive prime lenses really for tripods?</blockquote>
