The shots that I have made under similar circumstances with a properly matched Oly lens and IS "on" have been better. I was being cheap and experimenting with a longer lens that I happened to have, which provides neither focus confirmation or IS. Now, for a few more bucks, one can get an adapter fitted with a chip that supposedly fakes out the camera and, with manual input, provides those features. I'm a tightwad and like my experiments on the cheap side. Thanks for looking.
