I agree with you David. The difference with the latest versions is not so significant. It's interesting to compare how dramatically the model changed in 22 years.

An unfortunate incident happened yesterday. I was changing the converter, perhaps I didn’t turn the mount to the end, and the battery become dead a while after that.
I took off the lens and put it in my backpack. At home, I discovered that the stabilizer did not park and the lens unit was floating in the lens barrel during my way home. I called the CPS, they reassured me that nothing terrible had happened, but the incident was unpleasant.

a lot of cheap lenses do not park OIS and/or focusing group of elements at all ... but you 'd expect that a $10K (or was it $12K+ ??? ) lens has some backup power inside to do this
