It has no IS. How is that better than having it?

$1300 buys a lot of stuff. And you are supposedly buying the f2 to use it at f2. One man's trash is another man's treasure. Note that I am not taking a position either way, this lens is useless to me with or without IS. But there are use cases out there where IS is not that useful. And in any case IBIS while not as good as in-lens IS is nothing to sneeze at.
