I have USM on my 17-40 (dead silent) and 100 Macro (the elements make a faint bit of noise) but I can't fathom how anyone could describe a USM lens as LOUD. When I think loud I think of my thrifty fifty (sounds like a can of bees) or my Sigma 70-300(like grinding drills).

I'm looking forward to buying myself a copy of this lens soon, get those crops up! Also, just put up some real world photos, I'm not so much into the crops and pixel peeping.

RonaldS.Jr. Prodigal "Brick" Layer  More info | Sep 08, 2006 10:05 | #66 Ring USM is near silent. The operator of the camera will be able to hear a slight hum or whoosh in most cases, but nothing more. Try a 35 f/2 or a Sigma 20 1.8. That's what a normal lens sounds like.

Most local camera stores don't sell nearly as many lenses, especially expensive ones, as online stores or big chain stores like B&H do. I wouldn't worry about getting a slightly older lens from a local shop..it's just been sitting in their stockroom for a while. Mac users swear by their computers. PC users swear at theirs.

) and put it on my camera. I just noticed that the sound is normal, as how can elements in the front move and make a dead-silent noise like from my friend's 17-40L?!
