At which shutter speed does the mirror slap from a Hasseblabec irrelevant for handheld photography?

[Hassasin]

Hasselblad asks for a unique way of handholding, which I inexperienced hands can lead to giving the body too much "freedom" of movement when releasing shutter. I have hard time switching back to it as it feels just plain odd after other systems. As it is not my only camera, it doesn't get the use I think it needs to make the best out of it.

I much prefer motorised (ELX) body instead of plain 500, as it is heavier, allows for tighter cradling, works really well with left hand grip made for it (so shutter release is from grip side) and with 80 lens 1/60 is fine, might be able to pull of 1/30.

If I keep the hand strap tight on my 4571 Flashgun Bracket and squeeze the bracket's shutter release button very slowly with my left forefinger I find I can usually get sharp negatives at 1/125 with my 500C/M. This is with the weight of the camera carried by a short neck strap and the camera body steadied with my right hand underneath. My "big" prints are 11x11 but I mostly print 8x8.

I have never had a mirror slap problem with any slr camera including my Hasselblad 503 CX.

Well undeniably the MF mirrors slap, dont they?

Outside of Mamiya RB67with its unique mirror soft landing design, all others slap the mirror which is not the same as saying such a slap affects actual image taken, although sometimes it does. Mirror lock-up was invented for a reason.
