Just flip the swicth >and shut off IS and its a regular lens. >Peter K That's right, you had to shut it off. I have a 18 pound Gitzo No.5 tripod, and on windy days, this tripod can't hold a 560mm lens steady, even with no leg extension. With IS turned on (this is the 100-400 lens with 1.4x converter), I get noticeably sharper pictures. * Henning J.
