Sorry about the double post...not for sure how to fix it. Edited February 17, 2018 by Jeffry Abt 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom0511 Posted February 17, 2018 Share #23  Posted February 17, 2018 After the announcement of the Fuji X-H1 yesterday I believe Leica is the only mirrorless company not offering image stabilization. A huge strategic mistake IMO.  Hasselblad x1d doesnt have IS either. I dont miss OIS in the CL that much EXCEPT in the 55-135. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest VVJ Posted February 17, 2018 Share #26  Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) What is your point? That Leica should produce and market aps-c bodies as Fuji does? Not likely to happen.  As I said, Leica's decision to forego IBIS in the CL is not necessarily a mistake. IBIS and OIS make bodies and lenses larger and heavier. Some want light and small as a priority.  Ergo the CL.  The difference in size between the Fuji X-T2/1 and the new X-H1 with IBIS is considerable. If the CL had IBIS and was correspondingly larger like the X-H1 is to the X-T2, I'd be less interested in the CL.  Anyway, I prefer image stabilization in the lens, where I can choose it as an option, and for longer lenses where it is more relevant and is more effective than in-camera stabilization.  The Fuji X-T2 and the X-H1 are different cameras and target a different audience IMO.  I am not convinced that the size difference is caused by IBIS.  The Fuji X-H1 is much more targeted at videographers, sports photographers and wildlife photographers. It is less targeted at street photographers.   I would be totally fine with OIS as well but none of the current Leica TL zooms offers OIS... Edited February 17, 2018 by JorisV 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the SL OIS technology will migrate to the TL equivalents, but I’m sure Leica would rather I buy the SL so I’m not holding my breath.

Marac Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share #29  Posted February 18, 2018 I do most of my shooting outdoor so the OIS or IBIS does not really bother me (not tried the 55-135 YET)  The 11-23 is very impressive. Took this yesterday in town, straight from camera.   Welcome, dear visitor!
