I can see them. Very nice!

I saw them too. Looks like Cosinaphile edited his post. Good glass, with some CA, but these can be filtered out I guess.

thanks all

this lens is a blast , it take effort but im handholding this 400mm 2.8 equiv, and loving it

So you're finding the E-P1 IS holding out okay at that focal length? Some reviews were suggesting that the PEN image stabilization was struggling at the long end of even the 14-150.

no i input the focal l as 200 on is 1 and it does help in the percentage of keepers

i remember the rule of thumb that in 35 mm the shoot at the recroprical of the focal l so a 50 mm try 1\60

a 28 mm try 1\30 hold steady and shoot at higher speed if possible , but .... ok

but with the crop factor i think magnification factor vibration is doubled , does anyone knowe if this is true so i work like this a try to shoot at the recriprocal of the effective focal l

eg a 50 mm lens acts like a 100 so shoot at 1\100

back to the point i think i will run some tests , but in casual use i feel a benefit of about 2 stops with this lens i handhold at 50 and can get a shot , but not always

when i shoot a 1\160 and above without running around with care i get as sharp shot

Wow--if you're getting good results at 1/50 with this lens, that means the E-P1 IS is giving you 3 stops with that lens. A review I read on the 14-150 said they weren't getting much more than 1 stop at the tele end (i.e., shots below 1/160 were getting shaky).

at 1\50 some are keepers some not one has to hold steady too at such speeds at 1\160 and above i can handhold without stopping breathing if you get my drift

aty higher speeds of course its better with ois i find 1\100 ok too

You must have pretty sturdy hands if you're getting results that good.

cosinaphile · « **Reply #12 on:** July 19, 2010, 07:17:22 PM »

usually im propping my back against a lightpole arm press against chest double handhole aand 2 sec delay lots of keepers at 1\50 to 1\60 1\90

at 1\160 and 1200 amd above more success ratio but id say decent success at 1\60 with static subj and landscape

Yeah, that's the one disadvantage of the E-P1 with no viewfinder: holding the camera with outstretched arms will cost you at least 1 stop of stabilization. It's best to press the camera against your face SLR-style, even if it means you can no longer "see" the LCD screen!
