i still say stick IS into the bodies so all your lenses, third party and all, will be IS!!

I doubt Canon will do that anytime too soon. It would dramatically cut into their IS lens sales, which is where they make the most money. So until other companies all do it and create strong pressure for Canon to follow suit, nothing will happen.

I remeber wishing for Sigma to make an IS TC type attachment right after they announced there first OS lens, but I don't think it would work well,. too bad it would be awesome!

While we're in the dream world of "it would be really cool if they had this...", I'd like to say that my dream TC (withing laws of physics) would probably let the lenses have 5 stop IS, 1/3 the apeture loss it currently has, and use flourite, whitewater glass, and other exotic stuff to keep IQ as high as possible. Oh, and it has to have 2 cup holders too!

Canon makes an IS adaptor for one of it's video lenses.

It goes on the front, not the back of the lens.

Here it is:

anyone have a siggie with OS? anyone know if they work as good as the canon IS? anyone have $3000.00 they can give me?
(just thought Id ask!)

Now if it could be made so there is not stop loss....

I would be much more interested in that than IS. I have never been very thrilled with IS.

That is very interesting. Now seeing that it is possible to create an inter-lens IS device without much loss in IQ, I think that Sigma would probably be the 1st to create such a device for photography. Canon certainly wouldn't do that until after someone pioneers it for us.

Because it would be adding elements there would be a corrosponding light loss.
But...
Would you be happy to lose 1/2 a stop but gain 3 stops due to the IS?
Across (almost) all your lenses?

Price wise would you spend $1000 on IS?
And have it work on (almost) all your lenses?

I want it the size of a Kenko 1.4xTC thanks.

There is no light loss on the Canon IS attatchment. Doesn't seem to effect image quality either.

It works really well, but is pretty expensive.

I'm surprised Canon don't make one for stills.
