In an aside to this, does anyone know whether the new
70-200 IS lens has Mode 2 IS? The canon press release
says:
"The lens employs a newly designed Image Stabilizer
mechanism that uses an improved method of holding the
barrel of the supplementary optical system, providing
smoother movement than in previous IS systems. This
results in image stabilization up to approximately 3
stops compared to the 2-stop stabilization effect of
previous Canon IS lenses. Additionally, the EF 70-200
f/2.8L IS USM's Image Stabilizer function can be used
to eliminate the image-blurring effects of mirror
bounce even when the lens is used on a tripod or
monopod."
OK, it can be tripod mounted while using IS - does
that mean it has Mode 2 IS or don't the two go hand in
hand? My only IS lens at the moment is the 28-135,
which only has Mode 1, so I'm not familiar with the
newer type.
