Nikon 50mm 1.4 D lens, does it come with image stabilization?
The nikon 50mm 1.4 lens, does it come with image stabilization<, Nikon's image stabilization is referred to as OS.
No it's not… It's referred to as VR (Vibration Reduction)… If the lens doesn't have VR then it is without stabilisation… And the answer to the original question is NO. The D lens doesn't have it…
No, and off hand I can't think of ANY prime lens that uses IS or VR or whatever silly name the manufacturer wants to put on it. Large aperture prime lenses are not really in need of such a thing, plus that adds to the cost and size and weight of the lens. Most people who shoot prime lenses want the smaller and lighter size and also understand enough about photography that such a thing as IS is not needed. Any kind of vibration reduction can never be as effective as a designed in fast aperture, so IS or VR is rather a moot point with such a lens as a 50mm 1.4.
IS is more of a function of zoom lenses, especially those that have variable apertures and need the IS due to the slower shutter speed required due to the smaller aperture at telephoto focal lengths.
Canon calls it IS, Nikon calls it VR.No. @ Steve - The Nikkor 105G macro has VR.
No.
Also there's almost no need for IS with that lens. You can handhold to 1/60th already with that lens. Slower than that, you will most likely get motion blur making the IS irrelevant.
No, the Nikon 50mm f1.4D lens does not have Image Stabilization. Nikon calls it VR - Vibration Reduction.
That's one of the nice features found on a Sony or Pentax DSLR - their versions of IS are in the camera body so any lens used becomes, in effect, an IS lens.
No Nikon lens come with Image Stabilisation (IS) as it is a Canon registered feature. Some Nikon lenses come with Vibration Reduction (VR). If VR is not indicated in the lens model then don't expect any Shake Reduction (SR) as Pentax has it in-body. OS is more commonly known as Operating System, the software that controls the computer's functions but Sigma (not Nikon) uses those two letters to mean Optical Stabilization. To complete the cast, Tamron calls it Vibration Compensation (VC) but hey at least Sony doesn't have a cryptic two letter code for Steadyshot.
