Does IS/VR work on macro lenses?
Canon &
Nikon now both produce one - has anybody any experience of these lenses?
Can you really hand hold for macro shots? Of course there will be some improvement in image sharpness, but I've found the challenge as well as camera shake is to maintain the focal plane ... & I can't help feeling that IS/VR wont help with this so although you have shake reduction, any front to back movement will result in a blurred (due to out of focus) image.
Thoughts?
