Thanks for looking Chris. I was surprised at how nearly equal in performance 
the lenses 
were, and the digital lens was not the best.

I'm not sure about the wisdom of turning IS off when using a tripod. Actually, 
I should have 
used shutter delay, but overlooked that 

The 135 macro seemed to deliver sharper shots, even at f/45, than the others, 
but it took 
post-processing to deliver nearly acceptable sharpness of those parts of the 
shot furthermost 
from the camera.

I'm pretty sure I have a set of shots of a stellar distant avenue of Lombardy 
poplars in autumn 
colour, and the hand-held shots with IS on were distinctly sharper than the 
tripod shots with 
no IS.
Should go back and check what my comments to myself were at that time.
