bbailey Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · IS on or off with monopod? I know that you need to turn IS off when using a tripod, but is there a negative effect when used on a monopod? I'm guessing it would be ok with it on, but wanted to know what others think? Oct 27, 2005 at 01:57 PM

AGeoJO Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #3 · IS on or off with monopod? I always leave mine on all the time and it works like a charm. Even for lenses that use the first generation IS like the 100-400mm, the IS is working fine on monopod. Oct 27, 2005 at 02:01 PM

Gustlock Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #4 · IS on or off with monopod? I'm farily new to the IS world. What is the problem with using IS while on a tripod. So far I havn't seen any negative effects when I've done this with my IS zoom. -=G Oct 27, 2005 at 02:18 PM

So far I havn't seen any negative effects when I've done this with my IS zoom. -=G With the most recent version of IS, which is on lenses like the 500/4 and 300/2.8, there is no problem with leaving IS on at all times. With the first and second generation IS, as on the 100-400 and 300/4, supposedly if it is trying to stabilize when there is absolutely no movement, it can create feedback that will lead to poorer results. But, even with the lenses with older generations of IS, that might only be a problem if everything was absolutely locked down in every direction. With a monopod or even with a tripod, if everything is not locked down in every direction, the IS is still useful and will not cause a problem regardless of the generation of IS.

Nill Toulme Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #6 · IS on or off with monopod? Les do I recall we were discussing Mode 1 vs. Mode 2? And you said you leave it in Mode 1 all the time even for birds in flight? I shot three matches last weekend in Mode 1. Haven't had a chance to see the results yet (went fishing instead), but I did notice a considerable increase in the slight motion sickness feeling I get from extended IS use. Wonder if it was related or if I was just off my feed that morning. Nill ~~ www.toulme.net Oct 27, 2005 at 02:31 PM
