1/360

But if it is a legacy film lens (i.e. designed for 35mm film), I am not sure, probably would be 1/180 instead of 1/360. But yours is not, I'm assuming.

My camera lens has maximum focal length of 22.9mm (110mm equivalent) and I need a shutter speed faster than 1/100 for reasonably sharp images. 1/25 just is not enough.
