No IS on the f5.6 but it is available on the f4 and f2.8 400mm. You don't want to ask the prices of those though. :surprised:

....Too right!! They cost many thousands even at competitive and reliable retailers like Park Cameras and Wex. I would still love one though.

Ohh there is no doubt it helps in certain situations. But, lets you your robin photo. 1/3200 shutter speed. Now... unless you have had 10000 cups of coffee and are "shacking like a dog" then IS wont make a blind bit of difference.

....Here's one before I had a cup of coffee or breakfast the other morning. It was a very dull day and it's shot at 1/320 shutter speed and ISO 3200 - On the 400mm f5.6L non IS:

^ I call it 'The Art of Failure'. Shot RAW and with minor post-processing - The Levels brought out the colour. Noise reduction applied overall, no sharpening.

^^ yep.. shutter speed far too slow to capture a flying bird and it be "sharp"

....But I love it as an image. Photography is about more than just being sharp in my opinion.
