But IS would not be needed on your shot..
exif says 1/1000th at 14.32 in the afternoon. Looks like a nice bright day.

The point of my post was that my images were taken thus........

Spitfire, 20.41pm, 1/60th, f8, iso200
Chippy, 21.08pm, 1/40th, f5, iso200

Both while panning. Without IS I think they would have been in the trashcan..

Can you prove that?

If I had an electric wheelchair and a non IS lens could I track shots just the same?

I have obviously missed the point here. If you pay over a grand for a lens, with IS, would you not expect it to work ?

Because some people wonder just how effective it is or doubt it makes any worthwhile difference.

I'm with John, I found it makes a big difference on my Nikon VR lense.

Errrrr, John,

It's just a bit of fun, I am well aware my shot would not need IS.....it's humour mate and I also thought I would post because it followed your aviation theme

Your shots are very nice indeed and I wish I had a fantastic IS L lens.....although it would not make me a better photographer only practise can do that

Cheers for now,

Pete.

PS How about those high aspect ratio wings though

Nice shots John & to a man with a passion for photographing planes the lens must be worth every penny

Out of interest, how much do you crop original shots ? Just wondering how tight a shot you can realistically take on the day.
