No. Sigma designates image stabilization with an 'OS' in the model name. The newer version of this lens does have it: http://www.amazon.com/Sigma-50-500mm-4-5-6-3-Telephoto-Canon/dp/B003980YK6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1363364953&sr=8-1&keywords=Sigma+50-500mm

I think you mean "image stabilization"? Yes, it does have an image stabilization option. The lens has a fast aperture of f/1.8 (meaning the lens opens wide to let in a lot of light) which can enable shooting in low light conditions with a decent shutter speed such that image stabilization may not be as critical as on other cameras.

This lens does not have image stabilization. However, you can shoot wide open at f1.8 to increase your shutter speed, and still get sharp sharp images. Hope this helps!

The image stabilization is in the lens, but yes, the two lenses that come in this kit are VR lenses with optical stabilization.

This lens is designed for cameras with Image Stabilization built in to the camera body. The lens has not Image Stabilization of its own.

No, but I believe there is a wide angle "mode" in the options. That said, it's really not the same thing as a wide angle lens.

The 18-55mm lens has the image stabilizer feature but the 75-300mm lens in the kit does NOT.

No it does not.If you have bought a self stabilising lens then you have wasted a lot of money.The A77 needs no more than an excellent piece of glass and 'hey presto' the job is done.Leave expensive dedicated lenses to those who sadly have no option.

No but the lens is recessed in the case by about 2 millimetres. Shouldn't interfere with the optical image stabilization that way

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

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.

No, but it is a good all utility lens, LOVE how it talks to the camera to correct the focus.

There's no image stabilization, but none is necessary with a lens this wide...in my opinion. FYI, it's a marvelous lens with tack-sharp results at all apertures.

This camera does have optical image stabilization per Imaging-Resource's review "Maximum aperture starts off at a f/3.2, and falls to f/5.8 by the tele position. Optical image stabilization is included in the design." You may have to turn it on in one of the options in the menu.

Well, as far as I could figure it out, it does not. But never mind, it's a great lens, worth its price, and actually you won't realize at all.

I think there are 2 - with and without optical stabilization. I have the one without OS which works just fine on a tripod for wildflowers (you don't use OS with a tripod anyway). The 150 mm focal length is a little much to use for handheld macros anyways IMHO! A very sharp optic.

Yes, it does. But plan to purchas a filter to protect the lens. It's my most used and most versatile lens. Great choice.
