I have found my K10D's SR to be useful when hand-holding my 600mm mirror lens, but much less useful than at lower focal lengths. With a 50mm lens I can consistently shoot sharp at 1/10s (which is about 3 stops of "help"), but with the 600mm I can't go much slower than 1/400s or so (which is about 1 stop of "help"). I keep meaning to test setting the SR to 800mm when using the mirror lens to see if that improves things.
