Canon Image Stabilisation

O.k. I’ve had a 24-105 f/4 L IS lens for a good 4 months now. Never really valued what IS can do. Well tonight as I was bored shitless I’ve decided to have a play. The following 5 shots were all taken at .4″ f/4.0 @105mm.

I think it’s quite clear which shot was taken with IS enabled. I was attempting to keep very still on all images. More so with the latter 4. All images have been sharpened with the same level of USM.

The last shot is the closest to the IS shot, this method was taken by putting both elbows on the desk for stability. It seems to have done a much better job, maybe this could work for some.

Overall, very impressed with IS. I can’t wait to try it on the 300mm f/4.
