Slowest shot at 200mm + A7 ii

[EdI_VeDeR]

People with the new A7ii... Can you tell me the slowest exposure time you can use at 200mm, with the 70-200 f/4, without tripod to get a sharp shot and the difference without IBIS??? (everybody have different performance for stability/shake)

 

I want to know in the photography world the real effect of IBIS system!  

 

Thank you!

I don't have that lens, but in my experience with other OSS lenses the OSS is slightly better than the IBIS. The IBIS should only be a real gem for lenses without OSS. Luckily the lens you are referring to has OSS and should do fine IBIS or not.

 

EDIT: I will add that I toyed around with my friends Nikon 70-200mm 2.8 lens with an adapter, with IBIS set at 200mm and it definitely does make a difference if for nothing else, the image you are shooting being more steady when zoomed in like that allowing you to manually focus better. Turning IBIS off it was a nightmare, with it on I was able to get some decent shots, but sorry to say I really wasnt testing for how low of a shutter speed I could get good results, it was a bright day shooting a few birds that werent too far away, so my shutter speed was pretty high.

I use 1/60 quite often with no effort on my part, its fine, perhaps even slower with some technique. The OSS is amazing.

With the A7 ii and IBIS on?

I have and use the 70-200 f4 with the a72. I did a handheld of some boats a while back getting on dusk and it was 1/60 @f 5.6 if i remember rightly, i can dig up the shot if you want.

I was amazed frankly.

I just snapped this in my lounge room handheld, [ i squatted though, its more stable ] i had to lighten it a bit and a tad sharpen of course and its not a briliantly sharp foto but it shows you whats do able handheld with this combo. Its tungsten light source and not quite 200mm, the ibis really works though so i believe.

With A7ii and OSS, which I think uses some of the IBIS (which itself cannot be directly turned on with this lens).

This shot is at 108mm, 1/6s with aperture f4. Its not perfectly sharp but given the parameters its a great outcome. The processed version is on my 500px profile.

 

I've added a crop of one section, it was pretty dark when the photo was taken so actually ... the focus might just be off given the poor light and large aperture.
