Noisy Canon Lens
Re: Noisy Canon Lens
Yes it's normal mate. My 70-200 f4 IS sounds like it is broken, I have used two or three of them now though and they all make the same racket!

Re: Noisy Canon Lens
Yes i always find the large Canon lenses noisy when the IS mode is on. You don't notice it when aircraft are about, but as soon as everything is quiet and you focus the lens on something, you think "what the hell's that noise!" 
Re: Noisy Canon Lens
Yeah I have that same lens and yeah the IS makes quite a noise but its fine

That's just the lens telling you it's working fine!
Everyone has a photographic memory; some just don't have film.

Yeah, it's when it's not making any strange noises that you need to worry!roughcutter wrote:That's just the lens telling you it's working fine!
