Starwolfy #22 Posted January 15, 2018 I have read some reviews of other brand lenses and I have seen some lenses to provide about 4 to 5 stops advantage thanks to OIS. I mean...I am not saying we cannot take pics without IBIS or OIS...but this is certainly a guge advantage in low light to be able to keep a sharp shot at very low speeds with a small iso. It may very certainly benefits the image where today your only option is to raise iso. Best Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starwolfy #23 Posted January 15, 2018 Of course for long lens the advantage is even more obvious Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaapv #24 Posted January 15, 2018 4 to 5 stops is with Dual IS. OIS or IBIS separately contribute 2 to 3 stops, normally. But yes, it is a benefit, maybe even more so than the improvements in ISO performance. I think small wishes come true sooner, so I would really push for O.I.S. on the long lenses - to start off with.

Keith_W #25 Posted January 15, 2018 You're right, some of Leica's decisions are hard to understand. There's not much of a size/weight penalty for integrating IBIS into a APSC sized body as we've seen with the A6000 series. I would have gladly payed another 500 USD for that feature alone. It's 2018 and we have still no option of stabilizing M lenses on a Leica body. +1. Quoted for truth. I am in the market for an APS-C second body to complement the M and do things that the M can't do. I would very much like a CL or TL2, but I am not sold on the system for a number of reasons: - lack of convincing lens choices. - if I (or Leica) quits the system, the secondhand market will be tiny. This means you either can't sell your secondhand lenses or you will sell them at a huge loss. - the bodies are not objectively better than the competition, save for build quality. Perhaps what Leica needs is a low cost body and a low cost TL zoom to get the system out there into as many hands as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaapv #27 Posted January 15, 2018 As for lens choice, I admit I was not convinced either.I was planning to get the body and use it for M and R lenses.

The body is good, worth the money in Leica terms, but yes, others build good cameras as well, it would be strange if not. However, the CL is superior with M lenses.

I've shot nice crisp files at 1 second with this combination myself, but not every time. Well done. I doubt I can do a one second shot these day even with IBIS and OIS together However I never said that he shot 5 seconds on 800mm or even 100mm. I said with OIS and IBIS together has been successfully shot at 5 sec handheld JAAV linked my first point with my second point and thought I meant Robin was using 800mm I said I have shot 800mm hand held which I would not attempt with non OIS or IBIS cameras and lenses. My point was OIS and IBIS is and should be available in cameras in 2018 - which is what this thread is about Hello guest! Please register or sign in to view the hidden content.

ramarren #37 Posted January 15, 2018 I have owned and used many cameras with IBIS and similarly with OIS. Image stabilization is lovely stuff ... for what it is actually designed to be useful for. Which is not everything ... Image stabilization is designed to extend and improve on the hand-holdability of long lenses in good light, not to extend hand-holdability of all lenses in bad light. The SL90-280 lens's OIS is absolutely excellent for this purpose throughout its range since it is a tele to long-tele lens. The SL24-90 lens's OIS is excellent presuming that you realize its effectiveness and benefits increase as the focal length grows past 50mm. At the wide end, it can actually cut sharpness by a measurable amount, particularly noticeable when using a sturdy tripod. This is why Leica provides a function to turn it on and off. These stabilization systems are one reason the lenses are physically large. IBIS attempts to do stabilization for all lenses in all situations. I've had it in FourThirds, Micro-FourThirds, and APS-C format bodies so far. I've found its effectiveness to be exactly the same as OIS in the SL lenses, again very good when used appropriately. In every case, an unstabilized body that was later replaced with a derivative that included IBIS grew to some degree, and the degree to which it grew was directly proportional to the effectiveness of the IBIS system and format. I have not used the stabilized Sony A7 models ... but from all appearances and reports the same holds true there for the FF format bodies. You cannot get something for nothing. It's not possible to provide the sensor motion required for IBIS without adding to the body's volume and/or reducing the size of the heat sink that the sensor connects to directly. Olympus can provide it in very small bodies because their sensor is 1/4-FF. Pentax and Fuji provide it with APS-C bodies again because their sensors are 1/2-FF sized. Pentax and Sony now provide it in FF bodies and the bodies have grown in volume by 20% or more. In each case, IBIS has reduced by some degree the suitability of the body for long continuous capture capabilities (video) due to sensor heating. Everything is a trade off. I have the SL90-280 mm lens for use with the SL and (perhaps someday) the CL. Its image stabilization is on point for why I'd want it. Beyond that, image stabilization doesn't do much for my photography by a significant amount; I'd rather have the simpler, less complex body with fewer moving parts as a result. 5 scott kirkpatrick, Alistairm, Chaemono and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scott kirkpatrick #38 Posted January 15, 2018 Olympus has been offering IBIS the longest of the current products and is generally thought the most effective. Somewhere on the Interweb I saw a video of the motions that the Olympus sensor is capable of executing about its five axes. It was scary, with the edges and corners of the magnetically suspended sensor moving several mm away from their resting positions. That is why the extra thickness is required, why it grows with frame size, and why thermal coupling/heat sinking will suffer with IBIS. Still, it is cool to have.

wildlightphoto #39 Posted January 15, 2018 It would be more useful to request lenses with OIS. OIS is not more useful for those who wish to use M, R or other-brand legacy lenses. 2 frame-it and jmahto reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmahto #40 Posted January 15, 2018 I used to think that only long lenses benefit IBIS, however after playing with Sony A6500 (same size/weight as CL) for couple of days, I have changed my mind. I tried my 28cron ASPH on it and I can hand hold it consistently at 1/4 sec (even lower with some probability in burst shots). It is just that 28cron ASPH performs poorly on Sony sensor. I would have loved to have CL instead of Sony.Take the shot below. It is at ISO1000, f/2 and 1/60 sec on M240+28cron ASPH. I would have loved to shoot this at ISO200 handheld and access to all the DR (the scene has huge DR, I ended up clipping highlights in the sky). Hello guest!
