Thats true, it also slowed the AF on the other lenses but in the manual, Mode 3 says it stabilises purely on exposure. I guess I wondered it if helped in any way.

I have always shot as most of you do without stabilisation. Having just traded in my mark i for a mark ii I am wondering whether to give this a try for football (soccer). I tried it at a game the other evening but in fairness I couldn't really tell if it was slower to hunt on AF as it was an...

Well I went with the 400 anyway, and at 16000 I could manage to get 1/1000 out of it. I thought the images looked good enough.......thanks for your time and advice though all and by the way... I did need the Aquatech!

I am going back to a fairly poorly lit non league ground I shot a few seasons back and I remember then preferring to use a 200 1.8 I have as opposed to shooting at a very high with my 400 and 70-200.

Hi All, Can I ask if any of you sport togs use photomechanic's and if so what settings do you use when submitting images by email? The choices are small to large, custom or original size and the default is fit to an 800 pixel box
