Does this lens have vibration control?

No it does not..an EFS 80-200 has stabilization. some lenses have USM or EFS in there size and those have extras built in to help your vibrations.

No. There is no vibration at all. In fact, my husband(the one who would actually use it) has already thrown it away because it doesn't work!

I have a Canon camera, so I can't answer this with certainty; however I expect that the image quality could be affected - because without vibration control, the lens would obviously be harder to use hand-held.

I have the same lens and it's my favorite lens. Mine does not make any noise like you've described.

It is a noisy lens, but so is the 50mm f/1.4. When back focusing it sounds a bit like a small electric toy car (it doesn't have an ring ultrasonic motor) and when locking focus there is a small click like sound. That's perfectly normal.

Yes it will work. But...it is NOT a "VR" ( Vibration Reduction) lens. I have this lense and I now wish I had purchased the VR version. This lense is a lot cheaper but the "VR" makes a really big difference in taking photos. Spend the extra cash and purchase the "VR" version. Good Luck.

Yes. Only annoying thing about this lens is that when you powered the camera, there is a rattling sound in reside the lens. It is not a defect from the manufacturer. Other than that it is a beautiful lens.

It's actually controlled well. At it's widest aperture you'll see it. This is a known issue, like on the Zeiss. But it's something that can be fixed in Adobe. The lens is a good deal and worth it.

I like this lens for video because there is no VR motor for vibration . It makes it quiet for video. The lens also is very firm. Making it not change position while on a tripod for panarama photos. I like this lens for my video's in manual focus. It is easy to focus manually while shooting video while keeping a sharp picture. Holds it zoom length steady. It is one of my favorite lenses.

I'm really a novice when it comes to photography. This lens does not have silent focus. As far as weight goes, a DSLR is already pretty heavy, and this lens does add a bit more weight to it. However, you have to balance that w/ the fact that you will most likely only carry around this single lens since it has a much wider range.

Yeah there is a very little wiggle sound. If that's what you're hearing when you shake the lens that's fine. No need to worry! I have it on mine also and it works perfectly fine.

I too noticed the rattling noise that you're describing. I did some research on the Web and found that it was nothing to worry about as the noise disappears when the lens is powered. However, should your lens continue to rattle once mounted and POWERED on, then return it for a replacement. Hope this helps

Yes it has. It's a god performance lens, the focus is something soft, but works well for a casual photographer like me.

Sam, Thanks for the question. I primarily take still shots so I do not know much about the shaking. It is a very good, hight quality all around lens. I'll give it a video test run and get back to you on the results. Best, Jonathan

I'm a Nikon user and have never shot videos with my Nikon D7100 so I cannot answer your video question. It does have the option of automatic and manual focus but no Vibration Compensation. My other go-to Tamron lens I thoroughly love is the 18-270mm. Both are extremely capable lenses and provide outstanding photographs. Here is a link to the best info. I can give you on this lens and any other Tamron lenses: http://www.tamron-usa.com/lenses/prod/assets/pdfs/spec_sheets/full_line_cat.pdf you might wish to buy. Hope this helps.
