Anyone know how much roughly would a Speedlite 430EXII cost? Would there be a big difference between EX and EXII?? I'm considering on getting a 1 year old 430EX @ RM830 that comes with stofen omnibounce & 4 GP Recyko batteries. Looks ok to you all?
*

Well, I would guess it'll be around RM1.2k, since it's new. smile.gif

Do keep in mind, the Sto-Fen (if real) would cost you about RM80 (right? unsure.gif), RM50 if it's an imitation and the batteries another RM150 (4pcs Eneloop + 4batt charger). Maybe you could bargain the seller to let it go to you for RM800.

Hmm, still testing both my Siggy 10-20mm f4-5.6 HSM vs my Tokky 11-16mm f2.8.

I still like the wideness and the distortion of my Siggy 10-20mm f4-5.6 HSM sad.gif

thats why i wonder why so many has the sigma 10-20mm rather than the canon 10-22mm. both is used for crop body only so the ef-s mount issue isn't valid here. or maybe its just the owners never come out with their poisonous photos.

mauinsons,
yea its a hard choice between the 430EX II & the 580EX II for those not needing the master/slave setup and extra reach...i'm gonna wait for awhile for reviews to pop up before deciding.

Many people get S10-20 rather than C10-22 mostly because of the distortion. People thinking about getting fisheye lens but worry it will underutilized so they take precaution move by getting S10-20 for it's well known distortion, great looking distortion. If they dislike the distortion, they will probably go for Tokina for its' fixed aperture at f2.8 rather than getting Canon UWA.

People thinking about getting fisheye lens but worry it will underutilized so they take precaution move by getting S10-20 for it's well known distortion, great looking distortion. If they dislike the distortion, they will probably go for Tokina for its' fixed aperture at f2.8 rather than getting Canon UWA.

I second that.

Canon 10-20mm f3.5-4.5 USM - I love the USM and longer focal length.
Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 - I love the sharpness and big aperture f2.8
Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6 HSM - I love the distortion

Will inform you guys if I'm selling mine. Currently my friend selling his Siggy 105mm f2.8 Macro and Canon 50mm f1.4 USM only. Another one might be selling his 580exII. I might be selling off 2/3 of my UWA lenses after I get the Canon 10-22mm f3.5-4.5 USM and maybe Tamron 11-18mm f4.5-5.6 if I'm really that nothing else better to do. tongue.gif

before you sell can borrow to play play or not? drool.gif or at least to a review for all those lens? u'd probably be the most resourceful to do this... rclxms.gif

well, different from everyone going for UWA, i'm actually more interested to buy a telephoto zoom. who else play before sigma 50-500, 80-400, 120-300, and the canon 100-400L??

Hello guys between this two lenses which one worth to buy??
which one more sharp??
and for sigma the macro thing is good??...or i should buy canon and buy another one canon/sigma macro lense??

Canon EF-S F/4-5.6 55-250mm IS  
Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 Macro APO
I would suggest you to get Canon 55-250mm f4-5.6 IS + Sigma 105mm f2.8 Macro
That Canon is good for telephoto for its 4-stop-IS technology
For portrait / macro, you can use the sharp Sigma 105mm f2.8 Macro

The heavy distortion on Siggy 10-20mm f4-5.6 HSM gives it a little fishyy-eye effect tongue.gif
Don't worry, I've tested it on my 300/350/400/20/30/40D and no vignetting effect.

Aiya, I believe there are a lot more aiming for >300mm lens IF they have the budget and IF they need to have such long focal length. All my 12 lenses are shorter than 200mm. Might grab an allrounder Siggy 70-300mm f4-5.6 Macro APO for longer reach if I really need something to reach far subjects. Not ready to invest in a 10k+ lens like the 300mm f2.8 L sad.gif

How about Sigma APO 150-500mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM or Sigma 80-400mm F4.5-5.6 EX DG OS.

I've read many reviews especially on 80-400 saying that they are very good lenses.

How about Sigma APO 150-500mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM or Sigma 80-400mm F4.5-5.6 EX DG OS.

I've read many reviews especially on 80-400 saying that they are very good lenses.

Hey mengsuan: You selling off the 2.8L?? How come? I would have thought you will sell off the f4 instead.

2.8 too soft for you ah?


Added on August 6, 2008, 6:10 amceh.. so misleading.. Lens sold... but signature not changed...

Nono, that's my friend's f/2.8L, not mine. The f/4L is reserved by another gentleman.

Are some of you going 70-200mm F2.8 L IS version? Thought it was just discussed in the previous thread that it's not as sharp as the non-IS version. Viking's post look like upgrading to IS version soon, is it?

Then I'd suggest you install the bundled software. I'm using Mac anyway.
On my windows, I convert them to JPEG and view them.

Anyway, are you using RAW just to view? Do you edit those pictures?

Well, I usually use photoshop to watermark. But for this one, devianART watermark for me. There is a selection before posting a picture.

Well, yeah it does that. That's why I like devianART.

Teach you? erh, well, ok, I'm quite noob but....

1st, Open your Photoshop, select New and select your desired size of the project.
2nd. Design your watermark (easiest would just be writing a text)
3rd. If the watermark is done in one layer, then save it. If it's done in more then one layer, right click on the background layer(found at the bottom right of the screen) and flatten image(or flatten layer), then save it under watermark.psd or however you want to name it.

4th. Open the pictures you want to watermark on photoshop. If you closed the watermark, Open that too.
5th. Drag the layer from your watermark to your picture you want to watermark and then go to Edit>Free transform to adjust the size of your watermark.
6th. click the tick on the top.
7th. flatten the image
8th. save it.... and your done.

credit to Vincent_Audio, he thought me that.

That's one of ways tongue.gif noob right?

Yup, but well, I have to decide which do I really need most.

I find the 50mm quite disturbing as I have to stand further for my needs of wide aperture.

Well, yeah it does that. That's why I like devianART.

Teach you? erh, well, ok, I'm quite noob but....

1st, Open your Photoshop, select New and select your desired size of the project.
2nd. Design your watermark (easiest would just be writing a text)
3rd. If the watermark is done in one layer, then save it. If it's done in more then one layer, right click on the background layer(found at the bottom right of the screen)          and flatten image(or flatten layer), then save it under watermark.psd or however you want to name it.

4th. Open the pictures you want to watermark on photoshop. If you closed the watermark, Open that too.
5th. Drag the layer from your watermark to your picture you want to watermark and then go to Edit>Free transform to adjust the size of your watermark.
6th. click the tick on the top.
7th. flatten the image
8th. save it.... and your done.

credit to Vincent_Audio, he thought me that.

That's one of ways  tongue.gif noob right?

Ooo.. ok I'll try that. Thanks ^^

Never tried the one from M$ but for me, my favorite program to view my pics is ACDsee. It supports RAW but I don't know if it up until 450D. But it's a bit slow but still much faster than M$ I think. The fastest to view RAW for me is Lightroom. Easy, lots of options and can make minor adjustments to the pics. And I heard Lightroom 2 is out now.

If you have things like version 1.3, that is Canon RAW CODEC, not Microsoft RAW Image Thumbnailer and Viewer.

I've used Adobe Bridge before and I don't like the clutter environment. It was a great program for workflow and keytagging before Lightroom is created. Now, Lightroom is sooooo much better than Bridge. Save me a lot of time on tagging and converting.

The closest thing that I can make is install Windows Live Gallery and Canon RAW codec. Live gallery is a bit buggy when viewing RAW; it will process non-stop attempting to load the RAW but the photo will remain pixelated.
Still failed to let the RAW load in thumbnail.

Added on August 6, 2008, 10:14 pmSorry if this is a newbie question. When we take raw, we can still adjust brightness and saturation, etc, yes?

Do we need to install the Canon CD software to do that or what?

Each RAW is about 10MB in size. Compared to 3MB of JPEG, the reading time will be longer.

Not compulsory to install Canon software. You can use Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom. Adobe software renders the RAW image quite closely to Canon DPP.

RAW gives you a lot of choice to adjust picture parameters. Brightness and saturation is just one of the many options.

no probs!

----

actually la. the other day my Windows crash. so i had to use my other Windows. so can't view my CR2 thumbnails and i don't remember where i downloaded it. tongue.gif

so i downloaded Microsoft's RAW viewer or donno what's that la.......... then i try to install la.......wait.... wait......... wait the fella to run, so long like no response wan. so end up i use Google, search out the OTHER RAW viewer (the one i gave you the link), downloaded and installed and everything completed THEN suddenly Windows wan ask me want to proceed or not. tongue.gif

MS SUCKS! biggrin.gif Now the only thing is I can't view CR2 like how i view JPG with Windows Picture Viewer. In Mac OS X - I could just dbl-click the CR2 file and I could have a preview already.

I don't think it's body art here...It's more like artistic nude, which is under 18 sx category.

Maha PowerEx's 2700mAh
Maha Imedion's 2100mAh
Sanyo Eneloop's 2100mAh

Take your pick. The former is like every other rechargeable battery except it's very good at it and the latter 2 can hold 80% of their charge even after a year (which I personally think is better as spares/emergencies). tongue.gif

Eneloop and the likes are good at retaining their charges. So its good for spares/backups. smile.gif

Well, by seeing that the PowerEx's are rated at 2700mAh would automatically tell you it's more powerful than the 2100mAh Eneloop's. laugh.gif

It depends, actually. I often use my flash, so I don't mind charging it everytime I leave the house. Some people who seldom use their flash and keep their gear in the bag for some time (weeks?) would be better off with the Imedion's or the Eneloop's. smile.gif

I use GP Recycko, similar to eneloop. Can last for many shots and low discharge rate. Just RM90 for 4 pcs with charger; much cheaper than uniross.

so, the recyko is nearly the same like eneloop la right?
good enough to support 580 EX recycle rate tak? im having problems where i spam my shutter, only the first picture got flash.. others flash didnt pop out.. i think the batery sucks la kot.. im using super old 1600GP rechargeble.. LOL

I guess so. Both are 2100mAh's and both are designed to store their charges. laugh.gif

Well, batt is one thing, also do consider cleaning the contact points between the flash shoe head (on camera) and the flash shoe legs(on flash, or whatever you call it doh.gif) as this may also contribute to the likeliness of your flash not firing. smile.gif

ok, back to serious stuff. eneloop? is this some special batt? those energizer 2500mah ones sufficient/fast enough?

Eneloop's are 2100mAh batteries which can hold 80-85%~ of their charge even after a year. smile.gif

I have 24pcs because I need to be prepared and since my 2 main uniross is like crap anyway.

I do like the uniross because of its charge holding feature. But I dislike it because recycling time using it is longer than when I'm using the 2500mah.

shahrum : Where got everyday bodyparts pictures??

got event this weekend at 1 U.

seventen.. Check my flickr. I took a picture of the poster.

Since we are talking about flash...how does it work anyway?
Like does it take the reading and fires off with the proper amount of light...

basically flash these days work with Canon's E-TTL II technology where it meters the target area then fires off the approximate amount of light that suits the scene.

So, if say I would adjust the flash so that it's not directly on the subject, more like bouncing of the ceiling or something. Would the flash still take the reading?
Or this is when I should play with shutter speed, ISO and Aperture?

The flash will still use E-TTL II when bouncing flash. The flash unit will emit a preflash to predict power level. The preflash is so fast that you don't realise it.

yeah, you bounce and diffuse or whatever, it still fires accordingly but you might need to adjust the compensation lor.

if you find it headache to understand flash, just use P mode.

580EX has many features la, like those power adjustments, being master / slave, faster refresh, and stronger flash also.... meaning it can light up the area with stronger light compared to the lesser flash units.

Ah, and don't forget the 360 degree turn.

So, if I buy a flash...I can just leave it on E-TTL and slot it on my camera and start using it?

Yeah, sure. Don't be frightened with all the fancy looking panel. It's actually easier to use than built-in flash. It gives more consistent output.

Yea, your Siggy is f2.8 also, but that doesn't mean that it's sharp @ wide open f2.8 unlike C17-55mm f2.8 IS USM which is quite well-known for it's sharpness at wide open f2.8 smile.gif

If I am rich...I'd go for 70-200 IS F/4L, 35mm F/1.4L USM, 500mm f/4L IS USM, 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM and F 24-105mm f/4L IS USM....and of course 580EXII.

But for now, I can only dream and hope to study hard, get good pay after that, and enjoy.

Photography is about taking great pictures, and it is the ability of the person behind the camera that makes great things happen! Yes, the right equipment is important, but don't buy expensive equipment just because it will make you look like a pro ... it is more important to work on your skills, not on your look.

Cheap cheap only. I think last time I saw used one about 1200-1300. For this lens, the price difference between a new and 2nd hand is very little. Just go grab one new lens at any photo shop.

p.s. This lens has very high chromatic abbreviation

To me (just me), I feel that Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 has benefits in constant wide f2.8 aperture but the IQ doesn't improve very much from 18-55mm IS kitlens. At least not as much as a 17-40mm f/4L. The f4 may sound slow but when a flash is used, it's usable indoors. Sharp, great colour, fast focussing: 17-40L.

Whats the cheapest price around for a 580 EX II nowadays? The price list thread lists Rm1450 and this is a grey set.

Seems like it's slightly cheaper in Spore.

Anyone knows?

guys, kinda malu want to ask here in public
but malu then will never progress right
been reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoom_lens and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_lens
but cant really get it tongue.gif

Canon EF 300 f/2.8L IS USM - is a prime lens (fix focal length)
Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS - is a zoom lens (variable focal length)

ok that i can understand biggrin.gif
in Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS, 70-200 is a focal length allowed - meaning the shortest is 70mm and the longest is 200mm
then, f/2.8 is the maximum aperture allowed - this mean that the smallest size of aperture setting we can use using this lens is f/2.8? am i correct about this? how about the biggest? do they have any maximum size of aperture for every lens? why dont they put something like this - Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8-f/8L IS? or maybe its the common knowledge on aperture setting?

sorry ya, kinda noobie question, im not using lens but wanna know the technicallity bout this blush.gif
if anyone can point me to some website explaining this topic - highly appreciated! notworthy.gif

Meaning at any range(between 70-200) you can use f/2.8 for the smallest aperture setting Click here, most technical info can be found thee.

Usually the maximum number of f is about 20+

and when they specify Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8-f/8L IS would be that at 200mm the minimum aperture would be f8 you can not go smaller then that.

normally people dun interested in smallest aperture smile.gif

my noobie understanding:

the 70-200 is labeled f/4 because its capable of f/4 throughout is focal length, that includes longest at 200mm. thumbup.gif

where as for example my kitlens, labeled f/3.5-5.6 is because at 18mm, it can open widest at f/3.5 while at 55mm, the widest is f/5.6.

if its labeled 18-55mm f/3.5 IS then it means its capable of f/3.5 at 50mm too (whole focal length of lens)

f/2.8 mean the biggest aperture.. literally.. biggest hole.. ppl said wide open..
user posted image
Source
as for the 70-200 f/2.8L smallest aperture can go is.. f/32..

as for the usage for f/2.8-f/8? IS... this means.. it will go f/2.8 on 70mm and f/8 on 200mm.. which this will never happen.. all i know only on kitlens.. like 18-55mm f/3.5-f/5.6... 18mm the widest aperture is f/3.5 and on 55mm the widest is f/5.6... maybe other lens does..
they labelled as f/2.8L bcoz.. it will constant on f/2.8 no matter how you zoom it..

ok then, with all ur explaination (which is greatly appreciated)
the smallest aperture is not stated in normal zoom lens
right?
is this meaning, EVERY zoom lens is capable to get to the f/32?
no matter the focal length?
is this also affected by the body of the cam? (which i dont see any)
is the f/32(smallest aperture in lens) is the common knowhow of canon lens or lens generally

If it's the minimum aperture, that too can vary with the lens. The smallest aperture is not stated in the lens name. You have to look into the spec for that. biggrin.gif No it's not affected by the body.

really great info (for me at least)
actually im more interested in knowing the smallest aperture of a lens
the fact that why they didnt state it in the lens name

and, the term lens name itself
canon have their own format (EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS) which is some other make/brand also used it (siggy/tammy/tokky)
and do other lens manufacturer use any other format? (leica/carl zeiss)

Erh, Don't really understand. But the standard and universal is usually the f number (f/2.8) and the mm(70-200). In sigma, they use OS instead of IS, which means Optical stabilisation, where in Canon it's Image Stabilisation.

for smallest aperture... i cant imagine how the info can be useful, at least not to me

FYI the EF 70-200 F4L also has USM, and it also has an IS and non-IS version.

can't compare la. the 70-300 has longer range but that's about it.

it has IS advantage over the non IS version of 70-200 but it loses out when it comes to optics and the constant aperture feature.

You are comparing lens with different optics. And in this case, of course the L optics will win. It will produce more vibrant colour, sharper when comparing head on. USM and IS is only features, which it is ok without but lens is all about optics. Whoever got better optics, wins.

Definitely the L lens, why? Cause it is made specially to beat those non L lens. Well, thats what I think, cause if the 70-300 can give the best final product between itself and the L lens, why would people pay more for the L lens when they can get better results on a lower end lens.
It also depend on its sweet spot and its weak spot.

comment? rm1450 from photo selangor...(lately i'm always doing free ad for this shop la...no good sweat.gif ) u looking for one? lets go buy together and ask for discount kau kau some more... laugh.gif

to add to |sorcerer|'s question, lens tends to have a sweet spot to operate at. stopping down to much and you are actually reaching the limits of the optics due to the effect of light diffraction. in layman's term, meaning no more sharp picture la if over certain range. and since most users will try to avoid this area, whether the min aperture is displayed or not doesn't seems to be that important anymore. <-- but this is my theory la...if wrong don't shoot me.

ok then, with all ur explaination (which is greatly appreciated)
the smallest aperture is not stated in normal zoom lens
right?
is this meaning, EVERY zoom lens is capable to get to the f/32?
no matter the focal length?
is this also affected by the body of the cam? (which i dont see any)
is the f/32(smallest aperture in lens) is the common knowhow of canon lens or lens generally
*
Not all lens can achieve f/32. Most lens can go as narrow as f/22 only.

QUOTE(wjie20 @ Aug 8 2008, 05:18 PM)
Oh, then, yes, it's all standard. Other brands would use the same format.
I think smallest aperture would not really be useful for me. Because I never really got above f/18....

Wanna ask, whats the max writing speed for a 350D? I remember somewhere, that it's pointless getting a CF card that is fast when the camera can't write that fast.
and also the writing speed of 40D?... what does the 133X stand for?

White paper does not state the writing speed. 1x=150kB/s
Fast CF card is not essentially for shooting; it's to save time when transferring to PC.

Yeah, lor, that's why I'm asking if anyone know, 1x=150kB/s, 133 means around 20 MB/s?

Sorry. Typo using iPhone to surf lah. Supposed to be spore. Singapore.

That battery can get in any camera shop or even supermarket lah. But IF I were you. I make trip to jalan pasar-get like 10pc and the go home. Cheaper there mah.

Hmmm. Both Also canon warranty. Regret didnt get anthr 1 when I was in USA. Could have saved rm500. (you read correct. That time exchange rate low and there was promo too!!!!!!)

It would be great if can get more flashes for my usage. mastering Flash is no simple task man.

RM500 per flash is very significant right? I saved a lot from geting it from USA actually. If buy now, shipping = USD80+

yeah. .don't put it out of context OK.

if you get it now and shipping = NO savings
Previously, when I got it, I saved RM500 because, it was only shipping from New York to California which is like USD10 or something.

Frankly, I fail to see the reason for the updates lah..

Reason

1) gives a chance for people to ask to borrow lenses.. keke..
2) Looks like show off lah.. like Viking.. he open lens rental shop.. LOL..
3) just organise photoshoot/outing lah.. then we can compare whoose baazoooka bigger..

Wow... Lens show. I am thinking to invest a 50mm f1.4 L, does it worth it to invest 1? The 50mm f1.8... I still not really happy with it. But my f4 70-200mm L is excellence investment.

50mm f1.4 L is a lot sharper and faster compared to 50mm f1.8. smile.gif

Frankly, I fail to see the reason for the updates lah..

Reason

1) gives a chance for people to ask to borrow lenses.. keke..
2) Looks like show off lah.. like Viking.. he open lens rental shop.. LOL..
3) just organise photoshoot/outing lah.. then we can compare whoose baazoooka bigger..

Naw, they called a team of detectives to investigate me. Somemore come 8 in the morning, when i was sleeping.

With all the real child rapists being handed 3 month jail terms and deemed unable to be tried here, maybe they should like try to catch them again or atleast curb them or something.

Not some dolt who thought it would be nice to take pics while he was waiting for a bus.

Kena report lol.

Well, around here, regularly, because cops they don't seem to understand the idea of privacy laws only applying to private places or place where a person can expect reasonable privacy, eg; a toilet, a changing room, a backstage, a house, an apartment, and not the middle of the goddamned street, or in a mall, or in a food court, or in a park. Goddamnit i think alot of them are dense or something, don't even know their own friggin laws.

Good choice in choosing the 40D. laugh.gif

As for your first lens selection, I would first ask you this : What type of shots do you usually use your camera to shoot? and also : How deep into photography are you? (seeing the 40D as your base, I'd say it's pretty deep, but just to confirm). Last but not least : How's your budget like?

hhrrmmm... if ur not sure what type of photography u want to do, i suggest just take the kitlens first.. or u can get something like a all rounder lens such as 18-200mm... im recomending u this lens is because its like "jack of all trade, master of none"..
it can fullfill a huge range of focal lenght... but there is nothing special about it..

Then you'll need a WA and medium range zoom (betulkah? laugh.gif) lens.

Well usually when we refer to kit lens, it's the 18-55 IS. smile.gif

Partial metering is like a less accurate version of spot metering. Instead of getting 4% you get around 9%. tongue.gif

Hay you're right. laugh.gif

Partial metering is like a less accurate version of spot metering. Instead of getting 4% you get around 9%. tongue.gif

haha.. so it is nearly the same as spot metering right? i just want to find out whether you guys use the partial metering to shoot portrait or not as spot metering or partial metering is good for portrait right?

It's the new kit lens bundled with the 40D kit and also 450D kit. Improved version with IS and much better optically then the previous 18-55 kit lens. smile.gif

Wedding photography? You'll need a flash then. Unless you have a fast lens, then flash *might* not be required. laugh.gif

What cheap lens?
Canon 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IS using the latest 4-stop-IS technology which can pawn any built in IS DSLR anytime. smile.gif

If you are into wedding, get
- a Flash - Canon 580exII Speedlite
- Ultra Wide Angle lens - Canon 10-20mm f3.5-4.5 USM / Tokky 11-16mm f2.8
- Fast Walkaround lens - Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 / Canon 17-55mm f2.8 IS USM

Eventho its a kitlens, i love it laugh.gif

Hmm. Say he gets the 580EX II, T17-50 and T11-16, total cost = ~RM5k. Not a bad combo imho thumbup.gif

Yup, just not as accurate. smile.gif Partial metering should be good for portraits as it focuses more towards the center(spot metering-ish). laugh.gif

Image stabilizer

The image-stabilized Canon EF 300mm f/4L IS USM lensA photograph can easily be ruined when handshake or vibration is introduced during long exposure shots. The Image Stabilizer (IS) counters such problems by optically correcting such shakes with accelerometers and lens groups that move in relation to the shakes, thus minimising or even eliminating minute vibrations from the image.

A general rule-of-thumb to overcome such vibrations would be to set the shutter speed equal to or faster than the reciprocal of the lens' focal length (e.g. 1/60s for a 50 mm lens). IS lenses can improve on this rule by up to four stops. That is, the same 50 mm lens could be used at 1/4s.

Canon has released several versions of the IS system. The original, first used in 1995's 75–300 mm f/4–5.6 IS USM, takes approximately one second to stabilize, provides approximately two stops of stability, is not suitable for use on a tripod (if it cannot detect any motion, it may introduce unwanted motion of its own), and should not be used while panning. The next advance was released with the 300mm f/4L IS USM in 1997 and adds IS mode 2, which is for panning. Mode 2 detects whether panning is taking place horizontally or vertically, and only compensates for vibration in the plane perpendicular to the plane of panning. In 1999, with the release of the IS super-telephoto lenses (300mm f/2.8L IS USM through 600mm f/4L IS USM), tripod detection was added, so that the lens could be used on a tripod with IS enabled. In 2001, a new version of the Image Stabilizer was created for the 70–200 mm f/2.8L IS USM. Startup time was reduced to approximately 0.5s and the amount of stabilization increased to three stops. In 2006, the 70–200 mm f/4L IS USM was released with an Image Stabilizer which allows up to four stops of stabilization.[3] The latest version of Image Stabilizer, released with the EF 200mm f/2L IS USM, allows up to five stops of stabilization.[4]

All IS lenses have the words "Image Stabilizer" written on the lens. On some of Canon's larger telephoto lenses incorporating IS, the words "Image Stabilizer" are carved into a metal panel which is then stuck onto the lens.

Copy pasta from Wiki. Hope it helps. smile.gif

Basically IS works as per bolded text. laugh.gif
