I use IS mode 2 frequently on the 300/2.8 at the racetrack for panning bikes
and cars. It does work very well for maintaining a sharp subject while
blurring the background. I pan now at 1/125 and 1/90 where I previously
would have used somewhere around 1/250. It is a good thing for action. I
nearly always use the monopod too.
