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.

Cheers,
