No IS for 45mm. How much they should cost might be frustrating, but they cost what they cost.

If I needed IS badly I would buy a DSLR. I would love to have IS on our cam, but for what I use them for I get by just fine without.

As near as I can tell everything else works. I have the Olympus 45mm and really like it, use it on both GH2's and an Oly Pen E-P3.

Really wish Olympus and Panasonic could use the same stabilization method.

That would be great but Oly users love the IBIS. I just don't use either, I find either system seems to think my intentional pans are "unwanted" movement.

I've had pretty good luck with mine mounted on an inexpensive SpiderBrace (Home Page) and they even have a newer model out especially designed for DSLR's (under $100!!!!!). I need to upgrade.
