    What you say makes sense, and I do not doubt you. I got that from and article I read when I was trying find out how many axis they actually sense, and I admit I did not think about their answer enough to question its accuracy.

    Got the information from: http://www.brayebrookobservatory.org...OIS_M%26M.html
    Quoting:
    "The lens-based OIS designed by Canon initially compensated for pitch & yaw. Their latest OIS can in a few specific lenses also compensate for either roll (limited rotation - angle movement in pitch but also simultaneous side to side), pitch & yaw (Hybrid IS), or pitch, yaw & piston"

    Thanks for setting the record straight.

    Reading over that article, it appears the author misconstrues the functions of Canon's Hybrid IS, or that they simply don't understand what 'roll' actually is...

    Quoting:
    "During the summer 2009 Canon announced roll compensation in some of its forthcoming mid-range telephoto lenses."

    That was the announcement of the EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS, and Canon certainly did not say or even imply correction for roll. Hybrid IS adds correction for 'shake' (translational motion in the X and Y directions) to the typical corrections for angular motion (pitch and yaw).

    The 5 axes are:



    In a nutshell, sensor-based IS can correct up to all five, lens-based IS can correct up to four (excluding #5).

    Just finished going through my night photography shots and nearly 90% of the shots taken with the Tamron 90 VC (F017) are unusable due to vibrations. When I would take a picture, Mirror lockup was engaged, 2 second timer, 3 image bracketing, and I would stand still all to minimize potential vibrations.

    A sample crop is here (I couldn't seem to upload the file):

    Way too much gear and even more lighting equipment.

    Did you turn off VC?

    I am heading back in a few weeks to the same hotel. Hopefully will get the same room location so I can shoot it again (and go back to that wonderful Chinese Restaurant again).
