I had no difficulty seeing 3 stars in the Trapezium when tripod-mounted with the IS off....I have on rare occasions managed to see the three components handheld with the IS engaged, but usually I can only tell that it's a multiple star system

CES uses a real world example to get to the heart of the matter. Those that have been on the forum for awhile know that I had a longterm love/hate relationship with my 18x50. The Canon optics are very good, but to full exploit that optical quality they must be mounted.

I ended up selling mine to a police officer who wanted to read license plates and such.
