Nice motion in a photograph there..... well done. Good example why we should not rush to push the old ISO to the max all the time.

I like the image but if the lens had IS on, it is, unfortunately, disqualified from proving you to be steady.

Does IS do that much on a 1/2 second shot?

Tough to say except that it depends on the shooter. I had the lens but I couldn't turn off my natural rock-like steadiness. The IS certainly helps, though.

I had one too but I guess my steadiness threw the IS out of whack as most of the shots I took were soft. :-)

At what point does IS make no difference?

I can't say. That was my only IS lens and I only had it a few weeks.

I'm just guessing here but I'd say it can only compensate for movement in one direction at a time. Once the exposure starts and it compensates for your movement, if you change directions in your shiftiness, I doubt it is quick enough to correct for critical sharpness. I suppose that gets better with each generation of IS as the newest ones are 4 to 5 stops.

Not that slow of a shutter but it's a big lens to handhold.

I thought we had a thread like this. I'm with Hoff. I can typically go half of the FL and if I can brace myself against something even slower. I'll have to find some examples.

Nope. IS has been off for the last two weeks. I turned it off for some tripod mounted night shots and it's been off ever since. i was taking some more night shots last night and went to turn it off and realized I never turned it back on in the first place...;)

As has been stated, "it depends...on the shooter" . I have hand held with IS to 1/3 of a second (far right images), but the shake was beginning to show a bit.

I've got the shakiest hands in the world. I used to do a lot of soldering (fixing peoples stuff etc).. sometimes they watched and seen my hand shaking and I'm sure they were thinking "this is going to end in tears" but.. it's a controllable shake - like an organised mess. :lol:

I knew there was another thread similar--slowest shots handheld with IS.

I dupe two here because it is the best example of the worst situation: A cave with limited tungsten lighting. Both shot handheld with a Canon XTi and a 17-85 IS zoom. No flash, of course and only three shots before I was told no photography by the guide.

Both shots at max ISO, 1600 and f4, IS on. One shot at 0.3s and the second at 1/6s.
