does this have image stabilization

No, it does not. I prefer the lower weight of a non-IS lens, and for doing high school sports (including night football), IS would be totally useless to me.

The only image stabilization you need is a high shutter speed. This is a great all-around lens for a new photographer.

No, you will have no stabilization. You will, however, have a fast focusing outfit, usable for flying birds. The shutter speeds you need for that are so high that stabilization doesn't matter. I recommend this combination. If you get a second body, get a GX7 or Oly body to get the stabiization.

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!

Yes it does. A very sophisticated image stabilization. It can be set in 4 different modes:1.Off2. Auto (both horizontal & vertical stabilization)3. Vertical only for up and down movements4. Horizontal only for panning horizontally.Trust this helps.

Mine has a Nikon mount - but, no, it did not come with image stabelization. Your focal lengths are short enough that paired with an appropriate shutter speed, you should get crisp shots. Or, when in doubt, use a tripod. Not having that feature is one of the reasons it was cheaper

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

Image stabilization is a nice plus not a necessity. I use this lens a lot with great results. If the price is right go for it.

Hi Sherry, 18-140 VR zoom lens does have the image stabilization. For more information you can visit this page :http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Camera-Lenses/AF-S-DX-NIKKOR-18-140mm-f%252F3.5-5.6G-ED-VR.html

No and not really necessary because of wide angle/low magnification. NEX cameras do not have built in stabilization; it is included in several lenses including the kit lenses.

Yes, some of the lens elements need to move in order to provide the image stabilization. Once power is applied, the image stabilization takes control of those floating elements to provide the in-lens image stabilization. This is perfectly normal.Hope that helps,Sean

I bought the camera and it doesnt have Optical Image Stabilization and Amazon still have it on their description

No. I'm using it with an Olympus with image stabilization built into the camera.

No, therefore IN-camera stabilization is required. I am using on a Panasonic GX7 which does.

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 but it's an electronic stabilization, not as effective as more sophisticated techniques. Still better than nothing. Even more expensive camcorders of Panasonic/JVC range use the same technique according to my knowledge.
