For the typical use of an UWA, IS would not allow you a long enough exposure for it to be useful. Not to mention if you want to do exposure and/or focus bracketing... or shoot multiple frames for pano. Besides, no self respecting landscape shooter would be caught dead without a tripod.
This is a very narrow view. There are photographers beyond landscape types who require a fast wide angle lens. When did UWA's become the sole domain of landscape photographers?
Tripods are impractical for wedding and event photographers like to drag shutters at speeds like 1/4, 1/5 etc. Being able to handhold an image at 1/5, 1/10 or 1/15 is a godsend, and subject motion is rarely an issue for those wide shots where people are tiny in them. Camera motion in absence of IS is though. If you'd like I can send you about 1000 otherwise usable 14L II photos I have that were ruined due to camera shake, at shutters like 1/15, 1/10 etc
I did say "for the typical use". What do you think that phrase implies?
Mate... wedding is about the people, what's the point of shooting with a UWA where the people are so tiny that motion blur doesn't matter? And even if you do shoot with UWA, I don't think it would be very often.
How about some sample shots of that situation you just described? Or perhaps some wedding photographers here can shed some light on this matter?
