Panasonic fixes the strange 12-35mm lens shake? from Tim Hashko on Vimeo.
43rumors reader Tim tested the new 12-35mm X firmware 1.2 (download here): “I believe Panasonic finally fixes the shake issue in their 12-35mm f2.8 lens. anasonic has just released firmware 1.2 update for their 12-35mm lens which improves its stabilization system. Until now, this lens has been plagued with the infamous “shake issue”: when on a tripod and angled down, the image would shake. This was a well-known issue documented in numerous videos online. I did a quick test with the new firmware, and it does indeed look like the shake is completely gone. Here is link to my test on vimeo. https://vimeo.com/66329224 (video also embedded on top of this post). Not sure if this is newsworthy, but I was super thrilled to discover this and thought I’d spread the word.”
Thanks Tim!

Not sure if this is newsworthy…
Yes it is!
Thanks
Great news. Definitely newsworthy on this flagship lens, thanks Admin.
Hmm… consudering the bottle showed in the video is Vodka (Водка), I think I know why the video was shaky 😛
the report post on the shake issue had over 25 posts in the first 10 minutes…
Why would anyone shoot with IS on when on tripod ?
You misunderstood that the “shake issue” was with OIS off, not on.
You missed the big, white text?
I tried to replicate this test myself, but I couldn’t induce the shake (i have seen it before on my lens) before i updated…so I will have to wait and see if its fully cured or not.
