I've only photographed them once and, indeed, they are

I keep forgetting to switch off "SR" when panning (or switch to the 'Panning SR' mode), which is probably why these photos in this sequence are not as sharp at 100% as they possibly could be? But I was happy that the K-3iii and this lens and TC combination kept track of the Pelicans with all the background and other birds.

I don't think I've ever shut off my stabilisation ....

...... which, of course, is one of myriad of reasons my FAUXto's are as dodgy as they are ...

Yeah, an incredible sequence

I didn’t realise that you’re meant to until I got the K3iii and saw that there is a panning SR mode, but it was Ozdean who mentioned that you should just turn off SR when panning as the SR just fights against it. Fortunately there is a fast hard button to do this.
