So my new lens makes two interesting noises.

One is when the lens is off the camera or on the camera but with the camera off; when I tilt the lens down and back, one of the elements is moving and I can hear it hit it's front and rear stops. When it's on the camera and turned on it doesn't do it.

The other is that I can hear it constantly metering, even when in manual aperture and shutter speed the lens is making noise like it's changing the aperture.

What's has anybody else experienced?

Thanks

===============
It appears this is normal. The noise is the focusing magnets that are loose when the lens is powered down.

The 90mm combined with the x-T1 resolves like nobodies business.
