Hello,

There is a rumor that Fuji will introduce OIS in that lens. Supposedly there is a patent that was awarded last year. I have no idea if this is true, but I will supply the link below and let everyone make their own decision.

That patent was filed in 2014. Before they released the current 16-55 f2/8. I would not hold my breath waiting for an OIS version of this zoom. I own the lens and haven't yet felt like I miss stabilization.
