Yes, the Olympus lenses lack IS, but that is because Olympus has sensor-based (i.e. in-camera) IS. (Pentax also does this, by the way, and I'm guessing this lets them make slightly smaller lenses than other lenses for APS-cameras.) And while NEX lenses may be comparable in size/weight to some m43-lenses, the smallest possible size you can make NEX lenses is going to be greater than the smallest possible size you can make m43-lenses because the latter has a smaller sensor area to cover. | |
