focal lengths of 50mm and wider.


Horsefeathers.

200mm: http://www.aliasimages.com/KM7D_AS_T...#ShakeTable200

And the above is A-S. I'd expect IS/VR to do 1/2 to 1 stop better.


Hhmm! Since when did an 80-200mm lens become a wide-angle lens? Do they
sell an adapter that allows an 80-200 to do 17-50? If so, slap it on there
and see how well IS/VR works at these focal lengths.

Sorry, misread that as "and longer".

You owed me a few misreads in any case!@

BUT: VR, IS, A-S is useful regardless of how wide the shot is.

Cheers,
Alan
