David said, >>Two shots... the first is with the 50~200 Zuiko zoom (at 90mm - hand held). The second is with the Leica 400mm Telyt f6.8 ... also hand held. Without the use of the pistol grip or shoulder stock. This was indeed, "doin' it the hard way", but I wanted a true test of the IS. The framing in the second shot is off, as I find the 400mm (especially with it's 800mm FoV) hard to aim, without the monopd or shoulderstock, but the results still amazed me! <http://www3.telus.net/~telyt/Temps/IS_Test.htm%3c%3c%3c%3c> http://www3.telus.net/~telyt/Temps/IS_Test.htm<<<< David don't apologize about the equipment handling as damn few here could hand hold a 400mm as a 400, let alone set up as an 800mm. :-) They are not an easy task even with shoulder brace and high shutter speeds.
