I only sold mine to make room for the 75 1.8!

Oh! I didn't realize that double image thing was OIS specific. Might be worth testing the 45-175 & 45-150 .. they fit the criteria

I'd still pick the 45-175 X. It has a fixed barrel length and will not retract. Not to mention the 45-175 has been around for awhile now and can actually be found cheaper than the 45-150 right now.

Everything I've read suggests it's not OIS specific, as people still get it with OIS switched off, on tripods etc. If you get the 45-175mm make sure you have the option to return it, and test it at various shutter speeds. That way you'll know for sure, and not have to rely on second hand information from the internet :)
