Dec 28, 2011 15:06 | #1 OK, I've had my 70-200 f4 for over a year now (bought new) and the IS is very noticable when it is working. I guess you could call it a grinding noise. I thought it was normal. I just bought a 70-200 IS II f2.8 when they went on sale b/f xmas. The IS on the new lens is very quiet. I now plan to sell the f4 but I'm worried it may be defective and I certainly don't want to sell a defective lens. Is the noise on the f4 normal? Canon 60D, 5Diii, 24-105, 24-70ii, 70-200 f2.8 ii is, 580ex, (2)430ex

I got mine off of a guy who bought the 70-200 IS II f2.8. He showed me how quiet its IS is compared to the F4 IS. Your findings sound about right. stevenhien.com

Dec 28, 2011 17:50 | #6 It is just an older version of IS. It's nothing to worry about. You will also find that it takes a little longer to kick in than the new 70-200 mk2 5D4 | 8-15L | 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS | 24L II | 40mm pancake | 100L IS | 70-200mm f/2.8L IS mk2 | 400mm f/4 DO IS
