Does this lens have optical stabilization?

Yes it has. It's a god performance lens, the focus is something soft, but works well for a casual photographer like me.

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.

IS (Image Stabilization with this lens gives you two extra stops of light, enabling faster shutter speeds. I have one and I love it.bob

Not sure what "mechanically stabilized" means, but it does have optical image stabilization. What I can tell you is that I love the camera and actually took amazing pictures while riding on the back of a motorcycle on Tail of the Dragon...both stills and in movie mode.

The Lumix 42.5 is an amazing lens with optical stabilization. Other lens listed not as good. Others may disagree, but I've used more high end lenses than most people, and this one is a gem.

No it does not..an EFS 80-200 has stabilization. some lenses have USM or EFS in there size and those have extras built in to help your vibrations.

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.

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

Sure does - but please read my review, I advise against buying this lens for other reasons.

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.

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.

YES, IT DOES. There are 2 small screws on either side of the lens. Loosen, tilt, tighten.

No, that's one of the reasons why the costs of the lens is lower. In general use image stabilization may not be so important with such a short focal lens ... in normal lighting conditions. Fortunately the Sony's do pretty well in higher ISOs.

This lens has a vibration reduction system (VR), and also has a switch to turn off the system. It predominantly stabilizes the image against shutter vibration.

Yes ,the lens has a "floating" housing for the image stabilization to work. the lens will always wooble as you say. There is no problem.
