So by this am I right to understand that I might be attributing motion blur to DOF, and that this is really a condition of a too slow shutter? I ask because I went back and looked at the exifs for some of my shots and think that even some of the out of focus shots seem to be more evenly "sharp" when my shutter speed was closer to the (ratio?) of the focal length, e.g., 1/160sec or higher at 200mm.

Therefore, should I avoid shutter speeds less than 1/200 sec when using this lens?

Thanks,
