macnerd Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 the sigma 18-38mm f.18 doesn't have image stabilization , the GX7 has in body image stabilization, if you were to use the sigma lens on the GX7would it work just as good as if the lens had image stabilization? .. been reading such great reviews about it but its downfall is has no IS..

Inazuma Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 The GX7 stabilisation doesnt work with video. It works ok with photo, though not consistently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronChicago Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 If you are doing mostly handheld work go with the Panasonic 12-35 f2.8. If you can use a tripod, monopod, or any other stabilizer I'd highly recommend the Sigma 18-35. It's definitely my favorite lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Hughes Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 It's a pretty heavy lens which at least helps with holding the camera steady. You have three options:-Get really good at handheld shooting-Get a lens with stabilization (Tamron just announced a stabilized 15-30 for around $1,200)-Get some sort of rig to stabilize your camera (shoulder rig/gorillpod, steadycam, monopod) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macnerd Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 there is no hope for that lens unless its on a tripod or something to stabilize it smh.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
