Is this the older style or the more recently updated version which works with the OS stabalized lenses?

This is a new one.

The difference is clear. Please refer to the following pages. https://www.sigma-photo.co.jp/english/flash_and_accessory/accessory/#/tele_converter The function of Optical Stabilizer depends on the performance of each lens. Please refer to the following compatible tables. https://www.sigma-photo.co.jp/english/flash_and_accessory/accessory/tele_converter_match.html Also, please refer to the following compatible tables of older TC-1401. https://www.sigma-photo.co.jp/english/flash_and_accessory/accessory/tele_converter_tc_match.html About the red circle mark, both are written in the column of "Exposure" under the table. This description is important.

Thanks for the info. I figured that out , finally. Don't know who gave me the misinformation about exchanging lenses, but I purchased the K-7 with the proper lens. Thanks again.

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

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.

Not much has been said about whether or not the 'improved' image stabilization is actually improved that much. I have the FZ28 and at 18X it can be a little shaky. Has anyone found it improved in the FZ35?

I had an older one that was and has been perfect- Still working great- with a scratched lense- Purchased a new one- Not worth having- buttons fell off etc. When strapped tightly to arm- did not work as well as a little loose- good luck.

It's for Canon FD mounts, The new ones are EF I believe. The FD lenses were discontinued in the early 90's. You also have to shoot in manual mode as autofocus will not work.

Image Stabilization (IS) is a feature associated with lenses. When looking at the Canon lenses if it has IS, it has image stabilization. The 7D does work with IS enabled lenses.

The newer version has the IS (image stabilization). The description will say Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II. This is the newer lens priced at approx. $2300.00. The older, non-IS version is about $1450.00

I do not own any Sony mirror less or 3/4 or DSLR cameras, but none of there cameras have stabilize in the lenses. They have sensor shift to stabilizer the image. Mostly Nikon and Canon have to use stabilized lenses.

I may very well be in this very situation. I have ordered this lens used from a private seller thru Amazon.com. It was sold under the heading of being an OS system lens. However I have reason to believe it is not. I believe that 'Pastor Aguiar' has purchased the older model of this lens which is sold thru Amazon.com with no AF listed in the posted add. However it does have AF. I am guessing that the lens only has a limiting switch on the side and no OS or AF switches. Judging from the date or your posted question, I bet that I am a little late with this answer.

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

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.

Yes it is. The new version has OS and I would recommend it. The lens is heavy and slow, but for nature and outdoor versatility it rocks. I am not a professional but the images quality is very good.

No, there is no stabilization built into the lens, it is designed for use with the Olympus line of micro 4/3 cameras having image stabilization built into the camera body. Although, it will mount to any micro 4/3 mount camera, and can be used, but will not have image stabilization unless that feature is built into the camera body as with Olympus PEN and OMD lines of cameras.

Hi Jim, yes the Optical SteadyShot is built into the lens itself. Thanks_Mitch
