A: A lens with a large aperture like this one would not necessarily need image stabilization, due to its ability to pull in a lot more light than lenses with a smaller or variable maximum aperture. Additionally, most of the R series bodies, such as the EOS R5/R6 already have stabilization built in to help with the lack of stabilization in the lens.
