Have to admit that I'm baffled here. I would think that wide angle lenses would need relatively little shake reduction UNLESS the distortion of the wide angle somehow confuses the cameras SR system. For me, the achilles heel of shake reduction is that it does *dick* for subjects that are moving (as your pic here shows). So it is no better in low light than a tripod-bound camera. If the subject moves at 1/30, you will have a sharp background and a fuzzy person. Now, if Pentax would combine SR with a sensor like Fuji's, that would be nice.

I had SR on my K100, but it is not so pronounced. There definitely are issues, and I think it can be used as a tool as well as having it be a drawback. I'm just learning, glad it is digital, because I think the curve is kinda high, and will mean a lot of misses. This shot is an example of when it worked for me.. It is cropped and a little focus magic applied to the picture. This was with the 21 mm ltd lens at f 3.2 1/6 th of a second at 400 iso. No noise reduction, shot as a jpeg. http://www.sonc.com/shake_reduction.htm Regards, Sonny http://www.sonc.com Natchitoches, Louisiana Oldest continuous settlement in La Louisiane ?galit?, libert?, crawfish _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
