Goal was to burst 3 to 5 images (I took 5 but posted 3 because last two were no different), hand held, at slow shutter speed, using widest (18mm) and longest (55mm) focal lengths in lens, see how the camera would handle the focus and stabilization under extreme conditions.
Note: XT2, 18-55 kit, no edits, straight out of camera. Scaled down. The first set (ford frankenstein)I choose to use the wider end because it had better light. I used the longer end in the harsh light for more of a challenge.
What I learned. That the lens AF system functions admirably under extreme lighting conditions and the lens OIS is way better than my previous system. I was surprised at that the sharpness maintained in CL single point focus, spot meter. I would have shot this differently but that wasn't the assignment.
First set 1/8 @ f5.6 ISO 1600 18mm.

3.
Second set, I really tried to make bring this to the edge of fail, really pushed the boundaries.
1/4s @f8 ISO 3200 55mm
