  1. Looks like the IBIS on the camera works well with a non-IS lens, the 17-40mm used on your 3.2 second hand held exposure. I was wondering how it would work with the sharp 400mm 5.6. Nothing crazy but maybe down to 1/15 shutter speed?

  2. Hi Simon! I discovered your page a few months ago as I’m picking up photography. Love your page! You’re so great at explaining things. Also noticed your NS shirt, I’m also in NS! What a small world!
