But why would you ever need IS on this lens? When will you be taking macro shots below 1/100 or 1/160 (on crop body)?
I can't hold the camera steady enough to use my macro lens without a tripod. 90% of my freehand photos come out blurry. I do sometimes take the camera with me while fishing, and I don't want to drag a tripod along: in addition to all of my fly gear and the camera.
