What would you all do in a situation where the wind is howling and you are taking long exposures shots (20-30 sec) with a 100-400 - IS or no IS?
I know the 100-400 does not have tripod sensitive IS, but if the wind is blowing enough to see the lens moving in the viewfinder, do you think IS helps more than it hurts?
I've done a lot of them in a 25knt wind this summer ! 400mm, ND grad, no IS, but Gitzo serie 5 with markins and my bag at the bottom of the column. Exceptionnal sharpness on 1DsII, exposures between 20 and 30secs. Was even surprised myself !
When doing long exposures with a 100-400 and wind, I think the only satisfactory solution is to use a solid tripod, as KiboOst did. The 100-400 is a rather large lens when extended, and not so heavy so wind can really cause it to vibrate. I do no think IS helps much on anything that long.
