Does this lens have vibration control?

sorry, did not see this until now. Hope you bought the lens - awesome. It has image stabilization 3 choices off and 2 on's. one for vertical and one for horizontal movement. Here are some butterflies I photo'd with it. www.patricialamphotography.com/flowers/flowers (yes twice on flowers) first 3 photos. very sharp. Wish my Canon 85 mm f1.4 and 24-70 f2.8 had image stabilization. Sorry for the delay

Sam, Thanks for the question. I primarily take still shots so I do not know much about the shaking. It is a very good, hight quality all around lens. I'll give it a video test run and get back to you on the results. Best, Jonathan

Hi, Yes it does. should have enough weights to match weight for minimal lens setup and a little more. Thanks O

I have the same lens and it's my favorite lens. Mine does not make any noise like you've described.

Probably right - when I hold thumb on the lens covering and shake the rattle is reduced (although still present), and when the camera is turned on and shaken the rattle is different but seems located at lens area.

I've not had a problem with blurring due to vibration when using my lens and besides because of the nature of the beast lenses with that short of a focal length don't really require a Vibration Reduction feature because they are used for indoor shots or landscapes when you would most likely be be using a support of some type.

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.

No, it doesn't and you don't want VR on such a short focal length lens. The lens is very short and light. You won't pick up any hand shakes. VR or IS is useful for long and heavy lenses.

I'm really a novice when it comes to photography. This lens does not have silent focus. As far as weight goes, a DSLR is already pretty heavy, and this lens does add a bit more weight to it. However, you have to balance that w/ the fact that you will most likely only carry around this single lens since it has a much wider range.

Thank you for contacting us. The 18-55mm lens will have "VR" or vibration reduction but the 55-200mm lens does not have this feature.

Lisa - this lens has a selection switch for auto focus and it also has a selection switch for vibration control. I haven't used it for sports yet, and haven't used it for night shots either. I have used it in low light and it has performed very well. I have used it for nature, wild life and landscapes. I get clear, sharp images when using this lens. I believe the model is called AF-S DX Nikkor 55-300 f/4.5-5.6G ED VR. I would recommend this lens.

I like this lens for video because there is no VR motor for vibration . It makes it quiet for video. The lens also is very firm. Making it not change position while on a tripod for panarama photos. I like this lens for my video's in manual focus. It is easy to focus manually while shooting video while keeping a sharp picture. Holds it zoom length steady. It is one of my favorite lenses.

No. It's a static lens. Think of it like a large body point and shoot, with a really big zoom.

Yes, it does. I've contacted Sigma customer support regarding this issues and they assured that it's a "by-design" behavior and there is nothing to worry about. It's the OS lens elements causing the rattle noise. You can see that the noise stops when you engage OS (by half pressing shutter release). I also checked out a few other similar lenses at a local camera store and they all had the same noise. Mine is for Nikon though.

No stabilizer on this lens. You will need a tripod capable of about ten lbs. lens is very heavy.

Yes, it does. But plan to purchas a filter to protect the lens. It's my most used and most versatile lens. Great choice.
