I have wondered how we have gotten along without -S and VR-IS
technology in the lenses for so long ;-)
Other than the marketing hype, from reps and sales clerks, I really
have not had someone explain the need for this technology. I have not
checked into it, but how much does this add to the price of the lens?
Call me old-fashioned, though I do have an MZ-S on order, but I am
more than content with my simple AF and non-AF lenses. I can work with fast
lenses and fast film if I have to be concerned about IS.
Just my two cents,
