anti-shake

Hi
Forgive me if this has been asked before, but on my new 10D, the anti-shake works fine with the supplied 18-55, but does anyone know if it works well with non pentax lenses?

Cheers

Yes it does.

The manual, pp 67-69 is most helpful in this regard.

The point at issue is whether the lens can communicate its focal length to the camera.

I'd be very surprised if any of the modern AF 3rd party lenses can't, and the instructions for how to set up SR with MF lenses are reasonably clear. Use actual focal length, not the 1.5x factor.

Hi Brian,

Below is an image I took with a Sigma 135-400mm handheld at 400mm, 1/125sec, f5.6 at iso400 with SR on.

What do you think?

Excellent picture - I will be trying other non-pentax lenses at the weekend. Took about 80 shots last weekend out in country on a long walk with 18-55 pentax, some one handed shots, and only had about 2 out of focus
