No. Sigma designates image stabilization with an 'OS' in the model name. The newer version of this lens does have it: http://www.amazon.com/Sigma-50-500mm-4-5-6-3-Telephoto-Canon/dp/B003980YK6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1363364953&sr=8-1&keywords=Sigma+50-500mm

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.

This lens is designed for cameras with Image Stabilization built in to the camera body. The lens has not Image Stabilization of its own.

The 20-50 mm lens does not have stabilization; however some of the accessory lens does have that feature. I have been using my NX2000 for about a month, I like it, and the images it produces are very good. Mine does not have stabilization and I compensate by using the carrying strap around my neck, while holding the camera out in front with my arms slightly out stretched. This stabilizes the camera giving me an image that is clear and steady. Bob Kelley Jasper, Ga

YES, IT DOES. There are 2 small screws on either side of the lens. Loosen, tilt, tighten.

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

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.

No it does not because it's a cinema camera but it does have amazing focus peaking features that work with every lens. Popular opinion is get the MFT mount but I disagree - you can never underestimate what Image Stabilization with lenses helps achieve.

I don't know, but no reason to think it doesn't. It's an excellent lens. I have it for 10 years already. Still impeccable.

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. Canon does offer one with image stabilization, but it is several hundred dollars more expensive. You can google Canon lenses & see it & read its specs.

Yes it does, but I recently dropped the lens and sent it to tamron for repair and was told that they would not repair it because it was a gray market lens(which means it was sold by a company that isn't one of their licensed distributors) and would have to get it repaired elsewhere. Don't get me wrong, it is a great lens for the price though.

Yes, it does. In fact I'm selling mine but ONLY because I'm moving to a full frame sensor. It's unfortunate b/c there's really not a sharper wide angle lens than this one. I'll miss it for sure!

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.

No, it does not have image stabilization. The optics are far better than the kit lens and I've been very happy with the images.
