Hi Rich, I do a lot of motoring assignments which often has me hanging out of one vehicle to take shots of the subject vehicle behind, beside, or in front of me. This would be a similar application to yours in that there is often rough road surfaces giving considerable movement and vibration. I use the 28-70 and 70-200 for all these shots and just modify the shutter speed to suit the road conditions, often shooting a little faster than I would like to get around the camera movement. I suggest you could do similar and not worry about the IS lenses initially. Regards, Tim www.timmunro.com.au ps: you are right about the aircraft shots in Lens Work II Ken - just brilliant. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
