Handholding a UWC?

This is pretty interesting from a technical point of view. When you handhold a longer lens, the rule of thumb has always been to assume a shutter speed of 1/x... where x was the length of the lens. Now applying the same formula to the UWA (ultra wide angle) range of 15 mm... we get nice sharp photos handheld at 1/3s. Makes for interesting effects with motion blur...
