I recently got a 90mm macro lens, did some portraits shots and finds that the pictures are occasionally blur due to slightest hand movement. I realised that if I push the ISO to about 1600, then the shake is not that obvious but image is grainy, but if the ISO goes to 400 or lower, image is acceptable, but then the blur comes into play. The bluring might also be due to the x1.6 factor of the camera body itself which makes the lens to be about 144mm ( relative to a 35mm film camera ).
I have seen some shots using lens with IS ( image stabaliser ). I wonder if this IS is really effective to overcome the human hand shake movement or that it is purely a gimmic ! How effective is it? Can you shoot like 90mm tele lens, say about 1/60sec?:bigeyes:
Anyone that had used IS, please provide some valuable information on this, very much appciated.
