I didn't think stabilization mattered much at 35. But my RX1RII shots at 1/125 on the street lack the same sharpness I get with my A7RII using the Voigtlander Nokton 35/1.2 II. I am talking about shots at f/5.6 or 8. My practice is to have the camera in my hand using a wrist strap and to quickly bring it up and capture a scene. Nearly every capture with my A7RII in this scenario is sharp, but many of my RX1RII captures are slightly blurry. Sure, people moving are going to have some potential blur at 1/125, but the background portions of the images are also not sharp. For example, I cannot read the text on this sign on the right at f/8 even at the full size (this is smaller for this forum):

This was much better, but these captures were rare (and the motorcycle was moving, so he's slightly blurry, but the background is sharp enough):

I think 1/160 is probably a better shutter speed for quicker captures using the RX1RII (and, this certainly varies depending on the person). But 1/125 is reserved for 35 on my A7RII. ...Show more →
There is a widely held belief that image stabilization is not needed for wide angle lenses. From my own experience, I can guarantee that this is wrong, even with a 28mm lens, and I have fairly steady hands. It is especially wrong for cameras with high MP sensors, because they are more sensitive to camera shake.
