What to look for in VR prescription lens inserts
- Aperture: faster apertures (lower f-numbers) gather more light and produce shallower depth of field.
- Autofocus system: modern mirrorless lenses with linear motors track moving subjects better than older designs.
- Weather sealing: essential if you shoot outdoors year-round.
- Stabilization: in-lens stabilization helps on bodies without IBIS.
Final thoughts
