Thanks!

Just left the Southwest Harbor Library, where there were books for donations.
Low resistance.
the only one of photographic interest is a book of portraits of older women.

A masterful collection of portraits, ranging from uninteresting, to me, through
engaging, to quite powerful. It's nice
to be reminded how great the art of portraiture can be.

This is like the Angels dancing on the head of a pin discussions to me. I
always have IBIS on, which completely negates
any conclusions for non IS situations. Without far more information about how
the IS systems perform, the answer is
unknowable - for my, pragmatic, needs. Sorry C.C.B.
It can be fun to work out theoretical problems, but this one isn't for me.
After today's little visit to the Thuya Gardens, I can say that, with enough
light and slow enough subjects, 1:1 macro
shots (2:1, FF eq.) are possible hand held @ 60 mm or so. I've got some decent
shots of Japanese Beetles making more
beetles, as well as eating various vegetation.
Frightening, I suppose, but we don't have them where I live.

Good luck!
