Black Vulture

This portrait is an example as to how well the image stabilization performs using the Panasonic G9 body with the new Leica 200 mm f/2.8 lens (I have a preproduction version).  The lens aattched to the 2X teleconverter on the micro 4/3 body gives an effective focal length of 800mm.  The image was captured hand-held at 1/125 sec, f/8 and ISO 640.  Typically, at this focal length I would use a minimum of 1/1000 sec but the 6.5 stops of stabilization is remarkable.
