I got a t3i and I'm considering getting this. Is the lack of image stabilization a killer?

[newbeetledriver]

@ampix0 depends on what you want to film or photograph

@newbeetledriver well. How bad is it hand held in not super bright day light. what feels like a safe shutter speed for the IS not to matter.

[newbeetledriver]

@ampix0 around 50

so i was considering buying the 60d with this macro lens can anyone recommend a standard lens because I heard the kit lens sucks.

[newbeetledriver]

@comicreaper what are your expectations of a lens

[ampix0]

@newbeetledriver That's not bad at all. I think I'll grab one :)

My favorite lens. I've had it since it came out. Great portrait length too, don't forget. (1.6x60=96) razor sharp, great color and contrast.

@comicreaper

(its supposed to say i like how much it can zoom)

@newbeetledriverneeds have a better focus ring. ( i tried the feel of the kit lens it feels like scraping two cardboard tubes together) Looking for one that will reduce the noise given by the kit lens the Canon 18-135mm lens like how much it can zoom but its not sharp enough i'm looking for something that can improve the quality of the image and hopefully reduce the jello effect you get with CMOS sensors. I might not find all of this in one lens but i would settle for the noise reduction
