That is a very interesting conclusion and contrary to hundreds of other users findings including mine. I have a 600 f4, 300 f2.8, 100-400, 70-200 f 2.8 and 28-135, all IS lens's. The 28-135 is the only lens I have seen any jumping of the image on and that is when the mounted lens is on a tripod. I do keep all my other lens's in mode 2 so I don't know what it does in mode 1. jess Jess Lee http://www.JessLeePhotos.com http://YellowstoneNationalPark.tv * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
