You mention in your description that you use a monopod for sports. Do you shoot sports with Shake Reduction on or Off? I have heard that with sports panning shots one is better off to turn SR off in order to ensure sharp shots.
Well I don't do a lot of panning, but for that I would turn of SR. I did use with Sigma the OS on step two for panning and that works nicely.
I did some verticale panning with diving, and for that I turned off SR, because it will blur your image. I turned the head of my monopod for this so it turns the other way, up/down.
Other ways with like soccer I keep SR on when using my monopod.
