In other words you still need a tripod when shooting at 1:1  at slow shutter speeds just like in the "Old Days" Good to know the limits of "newer" technology.

VR, IS or whatever you want to call it works more efficiently at lower focal lengths simply because there’s less magnification of the subject. This even affects things like macro photography, where you have a 105mm Nikkor lens that’s got VR technology. The lens works very well under normal shooting conditions with the VR technology, but much less so when the lens is in a high magnification setting (typically around 1:4 or greater). In these instances, it becomes very difficult for the lenses to have enough movement to compensate for the much more apparent shake due to the higher magnification.

 

Hope this helps.
