The shot attatched shows it up, taken this evening ISO200, 1/13, f4, look at the lettering on the bottle - this was with the camera mounted on the Manfrotto all steel heavey duty tripod.

Brian,
Might be worth another go with a bit of mass draped over the lens to damp vibration. Pic certainly displays up and down movement. Otherwise a staight flash shot would do the trick as irrespective of shutter speed the flash will fire well lest than 1/1000 sec.
