Re: 90/2.0 handheld?

As far as I am concerned, the 90mm. is one of Fuji's finest lenses in the X-mount system. And honestly, I only ever use it handheld and don't find that a problem even at slower shutter speeds.

My main use for the 90mm. is at concerts and festivals, both in- and outdoors. The main advantage of these events is that usually you can create enough distance between yourself and the subject to make the 90mm. focal length work. The challenge is the mostly difficult and constantly changing but mostly low light. I've found that in such situations I can usually get good results even with shutter speeds as slow as 1/25 handheld, with ISO at around 1600 or 3200 and the aperture set at 2.0, 2.8 or 4.0. Luckily I'm a very steady shooter.
