What does it mean when you answer your own messages?
Anyway, I decided to do a Google search in reference to using IS
lenses when shooting auto sports. I found a number of references
that said that IS was an advantage when panning and none that said
that IS made things worse. Here's a reference, for example, where
the author says to use an IS lens whenever possible when
panning. It's toward the very bottom of the web page.
