That's why you'll never see Nikon put VR on lenses of 50mm and wider since
they know it doesn't work. They let the rubes buy Canon WA lenses with IS
so they feel all warm and fuzzy. The new 14-24/2.8 and 24-70/2.8 are prime
examples of utter perfection. Too bad they won't work on the old Mk III.

Sony is hyping their 35mm f1.4 lens in conjunction with in-camera I.S.
as a terrific low-light combo.
