Whoops just saw ur opinions a few posts back! Mine us near silent with the IS on. Perhaps it is normal as someone once asked me about the same noise coming from his copy as well.

It seems to be more related to when I lower the lens like tipping it downwards the IS seems very quiet

I just picked one up today at Vistek. I'll be seeing what it can do tomorrow.

i was just fine with my non is 70-200 2.8 and still am amazed of what it can do, maybe in a couple years ill get this IS version

I was to until today and now I don't think I would ever be happy with anything but this lens

Mine makes a click when the IS turns on.

Hope you're liking that lens as much as I'm liking my MkI!

Here's what mine sounds like. I recorded it with my phone right next to the lens.

welcome to being poor...oh wait, i just checked your signature line...you aren't one of us po' folk. LOL

that was back in the day when i had some spare cash so i invested it in glass.

its not so easy these days.

but looking at this lens im happy to sell off some stuff to get it

(no credit card, i wont use you, go back to sleep)

i'm sad to let mine go... i have financial issues i need to take care of. its a very sharp zoom lens and you will not be disappointed!

Congrats, This thing shoots like a prime.
