I've read in countless landscape articles about wide angle lenses never needing VR. It's a waste, it's unnecessary, blah blah blah. Well, I think they SHOULD have VR/OS/IS/VC. Why? The image below would have been impossible without it. I shot this at 1/8 of a second from the upper deck of the highspeed ferry (we went to Nantucket for the Daffodil festival, so the series will be up in the next few days). I wanted some sort of long-ish exposure/shutter drag image from the boat, but was entirely unable to do that with the sigma 35 Art I had rented (no image stabilization). As we started to pull into the harbor and slow down, we were cruising past the buoys, and it all just came together.

And a heavy crop to show that it is in fact tack sharp
Thoughts? Do you agree or disagree with my assertion? And why?!
Critiques also welcome
Cheers!
