Hi,

I am using 16-50 S for about two years now and recently added 50-150 S. I was never impressed by OIS performance of 16-50. It worked quite well for movies, but was very poor for stills. I thought this is what it is and accepted it.

However I am very positively surprised by OIS in 50-150 S. I'm frequently getting excellent results even at 1/4s at 150mm.

I wonder what are your observations? Should I expect similar performance from 16-50? Now I wonder maybe I got defective lens.

Cheers,

I have had the exact same experience as you.
