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

I have a Canon. Not sure about Sony. Most Sony DSLRs have "in body" stabilization therefore no need to have it in the lens I guess. Mine has stabilization built in the lens.

There's no image stabilization, but none is necessary with a lens this wide...in my opinion. FYI, it's a marvelous lens with tack-sharp results at all apertures.

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.

Hi, thanks question. This lens have focus motor, This lens is Auto Focus lens . But Sony lens does not come with the image stabilization. Thanks in advance.

Sony camera bodies have built in stabilization and hence provide stabilization to all lenses fitted to the camera. As a result you do not need lens stabilization for lenses fitted with the Sony mount, so missing this feature in the lens for a Sony camera should not affect performance in this respect.

No it is not an image stabilizer lens. For the money it is a great everyday lens. I have had some trouble with it on auto focus at 250mm. I would still recommend the lens.

No, the Sony Alpha cameras have image stabilization as an option in the camera body. This means less weight in the lens and should make it cheaper.

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.

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.

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.

I believe Sony puts its version of image stabilization in its bodies, so it's not needed in the lens.

Yes. The alpha6000 does not have built-in "sensor-shifting" image stabilization. This means if you want image stabilization it must be included in the lens. I think the Sony advertises this as Optical SteadyShot or having OSS technology. As an aside, it is more difficult to implement built-in image stabilization into cameras with large sensors without greatly increasing the body size, because the distance the sensor would need to travel for the stabilization effect increases with its size. I think this is why Sony is choosing to keep stabilization in the lens.

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.

When disconnected or unpowered, the optical stabilization elements do shake/rattle inside of the lens. When mounted to the camera and the camera is turned on the shaking/rattling ceases. This is the only lens I've encountered that has this "feature."

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.

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.
