If this works on non-Olympus lenses it would be a very big advantage. I guess the only way to test this out is to try it with a telephoto lens at a slower shutter speed with IS turned off and on. Then look at camera shake in the photos. Len On Apr 16, 2008, at 10:43 PM, Jim Nichols wrote: > Steve, > > I'm new at the DSLR game, having received my Oly E-510 today, > battery still charging.
