Thanks Godfrey, I would think, if I can fill the frame with a reasonable sharp insect, it would be sharper with SR on. Pictures of insects in action cannot aleays be done with a tripod.Other means for stabilization are used by me, like elbows on the ground. At first sight I would think that a

Bruce, I have those left-right and front-rear slides on my tripod,I use that for not moving objects. But even with the sliders, I mostly have to take the camera off to follow insects that are running around :-) Greetz, Jos On 24-10-2012 23:52, Bruce Walker wrote: On Wed, Oct 24, 2012 at

I always wondered how to adjust for image stabilization in macro. I use SMC-M 100mm macro and SMC-M 50mm on my K5d quite often with a macro ring. I have to adjust the focal distance of the lens manually. But what really counts for image stabilization is the angle of view, I guess. So should I

I don't know of any image stabilization system that has sufficient range to work properly for macrophotography. In practical terms, it can work ok for low magnifications (1:4 and lower) but in the 1:1 to 1:3 range it simply can't do enough to make a difference. -- Godfrey
