Hi all, I have just brought a 55 - 250mm 4-5.6 IS lens and when I am using it with the IS on it is quite noisy, is this normal? I have a 18-55mm lens but I haven't noticed any noise with this one but I'm not sure if that is because it is much smaller. I intend to ring the shop tomorrow about it and see if I have to take it in but would be most grateful if I know before hand if it is normal or not as it might save me a phone call :)

Cheers

Yes, completely normal, IS on the 18-55 is naturally quiet.

+1

My 18-55 is quiet where my 70-300 sounds like some is softly grinding coffee in the next room.
