IS off or on?

Another which is better.  Look at these.

Now a 200% crop of each.

Both shots are made with the Canon EF 300mm f/4L IS USM Lens.  One shot has the IS on and a UV filter.  The other has no filter and IS turned off.  Worse case to best case? No right or wrong just a curious example.

Robert,

I put the him in the 'ignore catagory' so perhaps that is why they don't show up.  If he ever offered anything constructive I would like to converse with him.  But he doesn't.  One of us has to tke the high road.

I am going to hold you to that. Most of your remarks made in my direction have usually been highly offensive.

Much easier to read the text in the second example, I agree. 

However, the whole set-up looks pretty precarious such that a passing truck or gentle breeze could change things dramatically.

Exactly, this is how you would use it.  Not the way a lab tests it.  Big difference.

Except you're not controlling for that -- the two photos are not taken simultaneously.  So nothing can be concluded. That was my point.
