Hello...

I was lucky enough to see Metallica live last night. I used the M6II + 55-200mm as I described in this other thread.

One issue I noticed with some of the images I took was a weird stabilization/blur issue on the lower part of the image. I haven't checked all the photos yet, but it seems to have happened with some of the shots at 200mm. I used the similar settings throught out: Av f/6.3, 6400 ISO, electronic shutter; sometimes a bit of exposure compensation.

Here are two untouched images, provided full-res.

In this one you can see the issue:

Compare their shoes vs faces; or the bottom of the drum kit vs top.

And this one no issue:

Same settings as above photo except this is 1/1000s; above photo is 1/160s. Also this one was a little closer to me, but not much.

This image from the other thread at 1/80s also demonstrates the issue.

Thoughts? I have not seen this issue before with this lens, with the M6II, or earlier with M6 and M3. I don't use this lens too much however...

Trying to reproduce the problem at home later didn't.

When I get the chance I will look thru more photos to see if I can spot a pattern...

IMHO - Excellent photographs - thank you for sharing.
