It doesn’t mean better stabilization once they crop. The weight isn’t a major factor in stabilization. The effective magnification is.
- Invictus0 9y agoI think Dingaling means that, if you're holding the camera in your hand, you'll be able to hold it steadier if it weighs less.
- dpark 9y agoProbably, but it's not really true. It's more comfortable to hold a lighter lens but the heavier lens has more inertia so resists micro-tremors more effectively. In the end it's pretty much a wash.
