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.

I'm new to photography, so I can't answer your question, but here's a link to a discussion on VR (vibration reduction) lenses: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/41801372

It does not have optical image stabilization but does have digital stabilization. For a cam with optical image stabilization you are going to have to spend more $.

This was my second DSLR and before this I had Nikon. Picture quality is better then Nikon and it has Image stabilization (IS)although most of lenses now a days have vibration reduction (VR) but it is not same ( IS is better then VR). And also it is water resistant so I believe it is ideal for your need. I love my camera.

Both lenses that come with it are vibration reduction lenses. The images are great. I would recommend this package.

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

The vibration compensation is pretty outstanding, it's actually the only feature that makes these lenses worth it over primes

Its a standard lens you will find on most DSLR cameras except it has VR technology. I have owned a couple of SLR cameras and mostly Nikon. This this is great, Great clear pictures and the HD movies are super clear. The VR is Vibration Reduction (VR) is an image stabilization technology that minimizes blur caused by camera shake. Using a VR NIKKOR lens can result in sharp images in low light, under windy conditions or when using a physically large NIKKOR lens, at up to four stops slower with a VR lens than a non-VR lens. I hope this helps, If anything happened to my camera I would buy another. All though I didn't get everything pictured, not sure why...

No you have to turn it off in the menu. I have read that the lens stabilization is better.

Yes they do. They both have a vibration reduction setting, (image stabilization).

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

I have had both versions of the lens and definitely preferred the one with IS. With that said, the difference in price is significant and the non-stabilized version produces superb images. If you are shooting outdoors with plenty of light it is perfect. If light is an issue when shooting I would definitely save up for the IS version.

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.

I've owned this lens for a couple of years now... And honestly I would've liked to save up for the IS.. No mistake it is an excellent lens for no motion images.. Things get blurry when capturing movement in low light.Thinking on selling it as soon as I save up for the IS version

This is a fantastic lens! I have never had an issue with image stabilization when using this lens. I love the versatility and range of the lens. I have one of the original Rebel's and also a newer model.I use this as an all purpose lens. At one time I had a 100-400 range canon lens and found that a terrible choice for convenience and for stability. That prompted me to get the Tameron lens and I have never looked back. I also bought one for my daughter who has the rebel xti and it is the only lens she uses as well.

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.
