3 New DA* USM lenses

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

In general, you don't use image stabilization when attaching the  
camera to a fixed support. IS systems are generally tuned to reduce  
camera motion in the frequency range induced by human musculature,  
not the range of vibration implied by a sturdy tripod.
