Wide angle IS makes sense...

The question of IS/VR usefulness still seems to come up a lot. -Especially
questions about why anyone would care to have IS at wide angle. Here's an
example of a room that was VERY dimly lit (despite the brighter look due to
purposeful exposure). This is hand-held at 24mm (REAL 24mm, shot on the
full frame 5D) at f5.6 and 1/10th second, using the 24-105 f4 IS:

For interiors where you don't want a nasty blast of flash, or in places
where tripods & flash are forbidden, you really do benefit. This would be a
completely usable shot. This isn't an extreme example, but it is well
beyond the typical hand-held "guidelines..."
I really should try it even slower just for kicks, but this was the shot I
took because it was the aperture I wanted.
BTW--This is the spot I'm sitting in as I type this...

I didn't catch the "35mm equivalent" as what you were referring too. I don't
like such comparisons in any event, so I routinely ignore them. 24mm is 24mm
.... it is the image itself that is cropped and has nothing at all to do with
the focal length.

NO, it's about the image caption saying (as though a digital focal length) that 24mm
would be the same as 105mm in another frame size, such as 35mm. Look again at
the text within the perenthesis. The 24mm focal length being the 'same as' 105mm
to 35mm film.

Re: Wide angle IS makes sense...

I think this might be a mistake, concerning that the camera is a Canon 5D:
" 1/10s f/5.6 at 24.0mm (35mm equivalent: 105mm) "
5D has a full frame chip, so the focal length would still be 24mm, as on a
35mm film camera.

You have a cappucino machine right next to your computer station?

At 24mm and 1/10th second I'm confident that you could have shot that
handheld with IS off and get equal results provided you used reasonably good
technique. Where's the comparison shot with IS off?
