No it is not an image stabilizer lens. For the money it is a great everyday lens. I have had some trouble with it on auto focus at 250mm. I would still recommend the lens.

No but It does have vibration control so I purchased this lens when I was 65 & have never had a problem with out of focus pictures. This is a great travel lens also, went to Hawaii for 30 days & Alaska for 15 days & never took it off the camera. Hope this helps, go to your local camera shop & put it on your camera & take some pictures & you be the judge.

Depends what you mean by "makeshift stabilizer". It is by definition a stabilizer. I use it to hold a DSLR, a flash, or reflector. It's compact, and relatively sturdy.

I believe it has a built in protocol that takes images from the bottom camera and compares the most current image to the previous frame. This unfortunately causes some drift over time. Playing around some you should be able to have it use an initial image and use that one as a reference for all other frames taken and later time points.

no, this lens is not image stabilized. it is a good lens, very sharp but quite pricey.

No. Canon does offer one with image stabilization, but it is several hundred dollars more expensive. You can google Canon lenses & see it & read its specs.

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.

The camera itself doesn't have an image stabilizer, yet the 18-55 mm lens does have an image stabilizer

This is a great stabilizer. It does not fit a black Magic camera but is perfect for a dslr.

Yes it does, sigma calls it optical stabilizer. According to the instructions it doesn't have it for Sony and Pentax cameras.

I can't really answer that since my camera has image stabilization. Quality is great on my end

I'm not familiar with whatever stabilizer you mentioned or the Dell laptop, wish I could be of more help

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.

Yes, that's probably the image stabilization unit. It has some free movement when camera is not powered on - that's normal behavior. Don't know how robust this is on the long term, but from the little I tested it seemed fine. I'd be more concerned about battery life, which is relatively short.

It is the image stabilizer. It was very irritating to me as well in the beginning. But when I use the camera outside under normal conditions I don't realize it anymore at all.

Yes. Not as good at the longer focal lengths - but it does have Image Stabilization....

No, it is not. I found these for sale on some other websites with the stabilizer included for the same $$ after I had already purchased these from Amazon.:(
