I'm well aware. Yet they also chose not to include it in their prime lenses.
Whatever their overall logic behind that
decision, and for such short focal lengths, it makes some sense to me, I can
see why it would be left out of the 20/1.7.
It would increase the size and weight of a lovely little lens, making it less
special.
I suspect it's not just focal length that affects IS efficacy, but absolute
shutter speed, as well. With a fast lens of
short focal length, the IS would only be really useful at quite long shutter
speeds, where it might not be very effective?

Now you've got it!
