Tested it in store the other day, was 'locking on' within 1/8th - 1/4th second (indoors, low(ish) light). A lot faster than I anticipated. Hard to be exact, of course
Edit: worth adding I was focusing on stationary objects.
Hi pxl8How does the Oly IS cope with a 500mm lens?![]()
Hi pxl8
Not sure if that's a put down or a try-to put down... but as you asked...
1/80th, f6.3, HANDHELD, ISO200, 500mm

... and if that doesn't convince you...
1/500th, f7.1, HANDHELD, 500mm at a distance of 125'

Have I misread your intent pxl8...?![]()
Not quite sharpened to hell and back, t'was a simple smart sharpen in CS3 as most on here do, but I take your point.No, I doubted the ability of IS by shifting the sensor around. The first shot looks very good, the second less so but mainly because its been sharpened to hell and back![]()
show off
great shots though!
Hehe, just can't accept it can you, very sad, very sad indeed pxl8. I didn't put you down as one of them, I always though your posts and opinions were pragmatic.Would that 500mm lens be 250mm in 35mm land?
I think humble pie is on the menu eh! IS works very well thank you, with no waiting for up to 1 second for 'settling in' time.![]()
OMG not you again...Just the sleep-inducing start up time to contend with then![]()

OMG not you again...
Same old same as... hehehehe FITP. Try something new eh, I already put you in your place with that null and void argument.![]()
Hehe, just can't accept it can you, very sad, very sad indeed pxl8. I didn't put you down as one of them, I always though your posts and opinions were pragmatic.
Oly IS is excellent, as I am sure Canon and Nikon in-lens IS is. Why the constant put downs and challenges...? each system is good, and bad, in their own ways [except for the D700/D3]. I really get fed up with the childish games of some people, and sadly, I only see it here on tP.
I thought you were better than that.:shrug:
My shoulder was against a rail, I took a few deep breaths, held my breath for a few seconds, then placed the camera to my eye and fired off a few...that IS impressive (see what I did there) that not balanced on a hand rail or anything?
I can provide the coordinates of where I was and where the Cormorant was using google maps if required.

Welsh Cormorants are BIG...A Cormorant using Google maps? I thought that birds had a sort of natural instict and didn't need maps!
I always wondered how Swollows found their way back to our garden every year. Obviously they use GPS.![]()
Thanks badger... very much appreciate your comments. I have some more of Paddington Station here if you want a peek..Music Man. I love the shot of the station. Colours, composition implied movement - everything -excellent. You got any more stuff like that?
