A guy called Falk Lumo has concluded that Pentax' system is only efficient up to about 200mm focal length. Iirc, he did his testing in the K20-D era. Godfrey DiGiorgi gdigio...@gmail.com wrote: On Tue, Oct 23, 2012 at 2:15 PM, Brian Walters apathy...@lyons-ryan.org wrote: Interesting article

Well, interesting. I wonder if he knows that you can compare the difference between Optical and In camera stabilization by mounting a 4:3 Panasonic stabilized lens, (or m4:3 if you prefer to use them), on an Olympus 4:3 body? Hum, I guess not. I'm always amazed by experts who don't seem to

I've kind of disregarded those findings. Maybe I'm fooling myself but I seem to get a better hit rate with the A*300 on the K20D than I ever got with it on any previous body film or digital. Ok for the record before digital I used the M*300 much more than the A*300, but they are for all

I thought of that, having just recently used the OIS Lumix 45-200 on my IBIS E-PM1. (You can get the E-PM1 body now for under $200) As per urban legend, I turned off the IBIS and left the OIS on. On Wed, Oct 24, 2012 at 12:48 PM, P. J. Alling webstertwenty...@gmail.com wrote: Well,

Well, we do have pseudo-quantitative mock three-dimensional colored histograms based on an ill-defined decision making process. ;-) Most of what I've read does indicate that lens-bsed IS has an advantage over body-based IS. However, both do work and IBIS is much more flexible, not to mention

There are more than 4 basic lens designs, and they are mixed and matched depending on the lens design. If you really want to know about lens design, read these articles: http://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2011/08/lens-geneology-part-1 http://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2011/09/lens-genealogy-part-2
