Does this lens have image stabilization?

No it does not but it's a wonderful lens and I've never missed it. I use it for Real Estate Photography with a flash and it works great.

Nope, it doesn't. For wide angle lenses is not common to have that feature.When in doubt, check the coding in the name. If it has an 'IS' it means it has Image Stabilization.

Hi Austin, Yes It has image stabilization. It has Pan Smoothing, stabilization amount and rolling shutter correction. Hope this helps. Randell

no image stabilisation at all . Not necessary , because this is a super-wide-angle lens .

I believe my lenses have stabilization. Regardless, my pictures are far from blurry unless I make a mistake.

No, all lenses designed for Minolta/Sony cameras don't have stabilization of any sort because that takes place in the camera. As such, all lenses are stabilized.

No, with the dx format(40mm x 1.5) it is equivalent to a 60mm (35mm film format); which is considered a normal focal length lens.The special thing about this is lens is that you can get real close up. It is super sharp and takes great close up portraits as well as allowing you to take close ups of flowers jewelry and the usual stuff you might like to look at up close.No image stabilization :( but a bright f2.8

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

NO it isn't very sharp and has no image stabilization built in. It's also not easy to change focus because the focus ring is tiny and not easily moved nor finely tuned.

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.

Image stabilization is only found in some Canon Lenses. "IS" is not a Canon Camera feature. All EOS Canon Cameras support lenses that have the "IS" feature.

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

1) Yes it does have image stabilization. If you look closely at the display picture on Amazon, you can see there is a "switch" for image stabilization right under the AF/MF focus switch.2) I do believe it is compatible with the Canon EOS 550D. I am judging by the fact that this is an EF-S lens and the 550D can mount that type of lens. If you go to Canon (http://www.canon-europe.com/For_Home/Product_Finder/Cameras/Digital_SLR/EOS_550D/#p-specification22) you'll see under Specification >> Accessories, it lists that "All EF and EF-S lenses" are supported.Don't for get to mark that this was helpful, if it was :) good luck 1) Yes it does have image stabilization.

The 18-55mm lens does have image stabilization as indicated by the "IS" in the kit description. The 75-300mm lens does not, it is best to use the tripod for this lens.

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