Correct. > Or does it also specifically refer to higher quality glass? No, higher quality glass is late eighties or early nineties Canon lenses usually with a metal mount. Most of the affordable new stuff have plastic mounts. Of course there is always the L glass which is stupidly expensive. > Coz if it's just VR - who the hell needs that on a 55mm lens? *ding*

Yes. > Or does it also specifically refer to higher quality glass? Dunno about Canon, but with Nikon you only get VR on their higher quality lenses, so buying something with VR means you have also bought a decent quality lense. > Coz if it's just VR - who the hell needs that on a 55mm lens? Anyone who wants to take pictures in low light at 55mm and still wants them pin sharp? Anyone who wants to take photos indoors and is not allowed/doesn't want to use a flash and still wants them pin sharp? It doesn't matter what sort of lense you have, having VR / IS means you can wind down the shutter speed a couple of notches, or leave the camera in auto and smile knowing you can get better shots than someone with the non VR/IS lense in low light situations. -- frag |
