Is your 70-200 f/4 Is USM noisy? If it's quiet when you're using it, do you hear the motor whirling inside a lot when you're using auto focus and the stabilizer is on?

It was strange at first but it's just the IS motor going.

Aug 17, 2009 23:24 | #4 I don't know whats making the noise. All I know is that when I'm pushing the button on my camera and the lens is focusing. I keep hearing a whirring sound. It lasts for up to say 5 secs. I push the shutter button and it will start again. Cheers,

Many POTNers said the IS is very noisy. But now I don't notice it as much. Too much stuff, not enough shooting time.

I turned the IS off and it was not there so gather it is the IS. I just purchased the 100-400 IS and thought the IS was not working due to the silence of the IS in that lens, seems it is working fine after a few checks. I guess its just something about the 70-200 F4 IS lens. In any case it produces beautiful images so I can put up with the noise FUJI XT5 + XT3 & a bunch of Fuji lenses, Mavic Air2 drone
