It's all about individual usage, Bob. If I were shooting landscapes hand-held, then I might miss it more, but shooting people (whether indoors or out) I need at least 1/60s shutter speeds to stop movement, and doing that with a 30mm lens means IS would be of no help. If I were using a 60mm or 85mm, then IS would definitely help at those shutter speeds. Samsung's 60mm f/2.8 does have IS, but bizarrely, their 85mm f/1.4 doesn't.
For what it's worth, when I use the 77 Ltd (via adapter) I can shoot at 1/50s - 1/60s without much issue. Now, when I shoot my 200mm or 400mm primes I do miss IBIS :-) —M. \/\/o/\/\ --> http://WorldOfMiserere.com http://EnticingTheLight.com A Quest for Photographic Enlightenment On 21 April 2012 11:47, Bob Sullivan <rf.sulli...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'll have to think about that Miserere. > IBIS had a big impact on my photography, > especially shooting indoor candids. > Regards, Bob S. > > On Sat, Apr 21, 2012 at 10:40 AM, Miserere <miser...@gmail.com> wrote: >> On 21 April 2012 11:28, Bob Sullivan <rf.sulli...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> Image Stabilization.......NO!!! - forget about it.
