General purpose lens that helps reduce camera shake
This is the world's first interchangeable SLR lens equipped
with an Image Stabilizer. You can take sharp pictures even in low-light
conditions when camera shake would normally blur the shot. Effective for sunsets
and places where you cannot use a tripod.
