Usually 10 shots of an ISO 12233 card, rating shots according to their horizontal and vertical resolution from 1 to 10. In general I have found:On a tripod with the head free:  I get a higher percentage of good (8 on a scale of 10) shots with it on, but no 9s or 10s. With it off I might get a 9 or even a 10, but also some 5s. The average is about the same, around 7.5,  but the spread is wider with it off.With the head fixed the average is greatly in favor of IS off with more 9s and 10s. With it on the average drops a whole point.On a monopod: No question, ON!!Handheld: ON (mais bien sûr!)I have never bin big on r-ing the f-ing manuals. Too lazy. :smoke:</blockquote>
