Yea, IBIS has turned it from a “shelf” lens into a “bag” lens.
It’s the only way I would routinely carry that many millimetres around with me!
Although I haven’t tried other brands, I see others struggling with their
camera’s IS. Sure am glad Oly came through on that; it’s put a whole ‘nuther
dimension on photography for me!
PS: If you think extreme telephoto is fun with IBIS, try macro! Using a bellows
hand-held is a whole new experience for me!
