Have you experimented with lower ISO and longer exposure times? I appreciate that this was at 100mm focal length, but it would be interesting to see how well the IBIS would cope with, say, 1/10s (for 100mm). I’m assuming that it was handheld.

I have done that before. In fact, I have been able to handhold at 1s @ 55mm and get sharp images. I didn't think to do that with this one as I was testing something else.
Thank you for taking the trouble to reply so quickly.
Anything remotely like 1s @ 55mm seems like black magic to me although, having said that, it's not out of line with other comments and examples I've seen. I don't really believe that the X2D II's IBIS can give ten stops (i.e. roughly a thousand times) improvement, under normal circumstances -- that would surely imply several seconds for 100mm -- but even six stops would be far better than anything I've experienced with full frame cameras. Thanks again,
