Not offered with optical stabilization. Have you noticed any difference between this lens and one with vibration reduction?

I've not had a problem with blurring due to vibration when using my lens and besides because of the nature of the beast lenses with that short of a focal length don't really require a Vibration Reduction feature because they are used for indoor shots or landscapes when you would most likely be be using a support of some type.

It's actually the optical image stabilization.. normal, yes. Lens cover, no.

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

If your question is about Image Stabilization. The lens does not have this feature.

No, but if you buy the FE lenses by Sony they will have Image Stabilization built into the lens.

When disconnected or unpowered, the optical stabilization elements do shake/rattle inside of the lens. When mounted to the camera and the camera is turned on the shaking/rattling ceases. This is the only lens I've encountered that has this "feature."

As noted by G. Harwell & T. Steely, shake reduction is built-in the lens (OIS) for zoom lenses only. Prime lenses do not have it- and in my opinion - do not need it.N. L. Marin

Usually Sony says to use their over the lens, but you can turn off stabilization through the menus. By Default it stays on. I actually like the Sony stabilization better then my signma lens' but that's personal preference.

Hi Miguel A., yes this Sony E-mount lens SELP18105G has Image Stabilization - Optical SteadyShot. -Ey

Hi Craig J., I don't know if it has image stabilization. I returned it the same week. The closure on the lens would not open properly, after only taking one picture. I did some research and found out it was a common problem with this particular nikon camera.

I would think so, but the lens is very subject to any vibration, even with a tripod. You would be advised to get a lens that has vibration compensation.

No image stabilization or UM--it is a plain jane lens, my wife decided to stick with her 250mm IS lens instead--she loved the camera and kit though

I don't recall which one I got, but the picture quality is very good for this lens. The picture stabilization on/off button doesn't show any noticeable quality improvement for me. Need to keep checking.

No stabilization. However, you would not really need it unless you are planning on shooting with very small apertures, in which case I'm not sure why one would buy this lens. This is an absolutely phenomenal lens BTW.

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.

No, it does not have image stabilization. The optics are far better than the kit lens and I've been very happy with the images.
