If I use my 300 f4 IS on a locked-up tripod the IS system gets confused and the well-known floating image occurs. I imagine that at high shutter speeds this does not matter, it is far smoother than if I hand hold with the IS off, but at slow shutter speeds it would certainly cause problems. Hand holding with a 2x extender, the effect of IS is miraculous.
