IS issues...possible fix
I haven’t read through this thread but thought I’d mention this here in case anybody else has an issue with the IS.
I’ve previously mentioned (somewhere) some issues I’ve had with the IS on this otherwise incredible instrument before. Well, my IS has started to go off again. Optical nirvana when disengaged, but then a slight blur when engaging it.
I’ve tried storing them in different positions and I use lithium batteries etc etc. I’m certainly not sending these old things back for expensive repair.
But, I discovered an instant fix for my canons anyway. View using the IS with the binocular turned upside down. Simple as that. The Canon’s instant and ruthlessly stabilised resolution is once again restored. These plastic bricks are such an ugly ergonomic monstrosity that inverting them makes virtually no difference to the ergonomy, with thumb used for focus instead of forefinger. It’s working like perfection for now.
Cheers,
Rathaus
