100-400L TEST IMAGE

Sunday, October 23, 2005

I haven't got a chance to go out with my newly acquired 100-400L yet, but obviously I could not resist the temptation to try shooting something indoors. What took me by surprise is the quality of the IS in the lens. Below is the image of my kitten taken in a poorly lit room. What is amazing is that it is taken handheld, at a shutter speed of 1/6 sec at ISO 1600 and there is no hint of any camera shake in the image. My hats off to people who have designed the image stabilization system.
