This is a great picture, lots of interesting things going on, I like the composition.
Me either, thanks for the info. I shoot a lot of video and the megaOIS REALLY helps when you're moving the camera, even on a dolly. I'll pass on this lens for now then.Thank you, Erik, and no, it's not stabilized. Nor am I.
on the contrary, it is truly fortunate that optical design was not affected by necessity to have a small separate group of optical elements to be floated by OISIt's truly unfortunate that this lens does not have OIS
If you think about the maximum aperture, which is the whole basis for the lens, then OIS is a bit redundant. You have to be in very, very low light to have need of it. In fact in bright sunlight you really are fighting to get the speed from exceeding the shutter range.It's truly unfortunate that this lens does not have OIS. Like many of you, I have the 20 f/1.7 which is optically very close to the 25 f/1.4. You really should get something more than a little longer and a little faster for the much bigger and more costly 25mm f/1.4. For the money and size, I don't feel I can justify the purchase. If it had OIS, I would probably buy it.
