Yah - though i'm really wishing i had a tripod instead of the monopod - even with the IS and the monopod there's still shake/blur visible at 1/100s - but yah, 100mm let me get everything in there. I want to do a shot of the moon at 400mm - but I think i will definitely need a tripod - and i think there'll be limits to how much other interesting stuff i can get in there (unless i pay very close attention to when it is where on the horizon).
