Herdinohio Senior Member 422 posts Joined Sep 2009 Location: OH More info | Oct 06, 2009 17:42 | #1 I just got a used 70-200/4 IS L lens. It is really noisy when I turn IS on. Is that normal? I used 70-200 2.8 IS before. It was quite like hell. The seller claimed this lens is only 1 month old. It looks so new but the noise bothers me a lot. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Oct 06, 2009 19:35 | #8 This sounds like mine. I have 24-105is,and also used 70-200 2.8 IS, I couldn't even notice the IS on both of them. The 70-200 4/is is so laud. However it works just fine so far. I don't know if the noise is normal............... liclic wrote in post #8774020 was using one from a friend and it was so noisy that I thought something was wrong with the lens Nikon D7000 18-105 VR, 35 1.8, SB 600

Unless I am in a completely quiet room, I don't hear it, which is 99.9% of the time. Bohdan - I may be, and probably am, completely wrong.

That said, it doesn't really bother me--I can't say I notice it much. connecticut wedding photographer
