I have noticed that the two Sigma lenses I own (30mm + 56mm) use noticeably more juice than any of my Leica lenses except perhaps the 55-135.

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

Do the Sigma lenses have OIS? I bought the Panasonic 70-200 to use both on my CL as well as the SL601, because the Panasonic lens has OIS whereas the Leica 55-135 for the CL doesn't (I would have bought it otherwise). I suspect a Mk.2 version of the 55-135 may have OIS. IMHO that was an omission by Leica.

The 30mm and 56mm do not have OIS. I’m hoping that a CL2 would have IBIS.
