Without doing extensive testing, I am assuming that if you are using a reasonable zoom range then the SR will over or under compensate when at a different focal length than you input at the beginning. For me, rather than dealing with that problem, which could cause the photo to be less sharp, I just turn SR off. It is one of the things you lose when using older equipment. But those older lenses never had shake reduction before so I don't see it as a big loss.
