Not worth it IMO. If it is used as a macro lens, you should be using a tripod anyways. If it is used for a portrait lens, there are much better options out there.
As much as I'd love to be able to use a tripod everywhere when doing macro, it's not always an option. When doing a wedding, sometimes I gotta grab those ring shots real fast on a jam packed fast paced wedding. No time for tripods! Hold out those rings, shoot, and move on. This lens will come in very handy and increase the amount of ring shot keepers thanks to eliminating shake blur!
Photography is an art, and with all art, the more flexibility offered to the artist, the better their work can be. Being restrained to a tripod means having your work restrained, and anything that eliminates that improves the artists options and (hopefully) the quality of their work. -Taylor
