Yes that's the question. I've been doing an internet search to try to
come to a determination. I have a number of K and A class zoom lenses
and the K20 manual gives the recommendation that /will/ give the best
possible results, which is to set the focal length adjustment in the
camera to the actual focal length set on the lens. This is all well and
good, and in any circumstance where this is applicable I shall endeavor
to use this method. However under 90% of all shooting conditions when I
would choose a Zoom lens over a fixed FL lens stopping to check the
current chosen FL and dialing it in to the camera for SR is unlikely to
happen. So I'm left with several choices.
1.) Set the longest FL. So it over compensates at anything shorter.
2.) Set the shortest FL. So it under compensates, (see above).
3.) Set an intermediate FL. For most this is a poor choice as they seem
to use zooms at the extremes.
4.) Turn SR off and use all the old techniques for camera steadiness I
learned using 35mm.
Any thoughts? Samples?
I mean is it better to over compensate for camera shake or over
compensate? I can't for the life of me figure out how I would do
repeatable tests. So I'm looking for the collective wisdom of the
list. Sadly all my fast zooms are old, and all my "new" zooms are slow.
