That's the new deal with the Sony 7II, it's IS, that's given a whole new motivation with respect to adapters for existing system owners, however it's expensive for just occasional usage. In a year or so the Sony will be a good buy on the S/H market!
This "SR" is Pentax's trump card really, though the models from the K5II onwards have their system crippled by implementing the giros to switch it off when panning and even reframing cuts it so you have to wait for it to refire up! Annoying!
Now I have Nikon it's so hard thinking of shooting with no stabilization, I have two lenses both VR, one kit 18-105 and a 70-300 4.5/5.6 bought "very cheaply" with a sticking AF, which I successfully repaired and a VR system which half works, (I can't get any real info on how to repair it and NIKON wants 300 euros) I get the impression that the Nikon VRII system is fragile.
