Sir_Loin Senior Member  More info | Dec 08, 2010 10:21 | #9 All lenses have a rattle if you shake them hard enough. Some slight, some very noticeable. The 100L IS Macro has quite a pronounced rattle when held upright and gently shaken. Again, perfectly normal as the IS mechanism in that lens is actually mounted on ceramic balls for the hybrid function to work smoothly. EOS 1D4, 5D3, EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II, EF 70-200mm f/2.8L II IS, EF 50mm f/1.8 STM, EF 85mm f/1.2L II * EOS R6, RF 24-105mm f/4.0-7.1 * EOS M5, EF-M 11-22mm f/4.0-5.6 IS, EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS, EF-M 55-200mm f/4.5-6.3 IS, EF-M 22mm f/2.0, EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS * FL-F 300mm f/5.6 FLUORITE, FD 55mm f/1.2 ASPHERICAL, FD 24-35mm f/3.5L, FD 50mm f/1.2L, FD 300mm f/2.8L, FD 50-300mm f/4.5L

I had this issue when I sold mine to a fellow member here and they complained the IS was broken and too noisy and wanted a refund. It was a frustrating situation and I'm not blaming the buyer but when I got it back, I went straight to the local shop to test it wit the other 70-200L there and it sounded EXACTLY the same! Here's the thread and congrats on an awesome lens. I loved mine! -Chris-Website

I just wanted to be sure everything was OK...and now I am. It's a lot of money to spend on a used item...

It is definitely a big purchase which is why I was ok with refunding it back to the buyer in the first place. I just hope that any potential buyers will read this and not freak out when they get it. hell, even I freaked out when I got it haha -Chris-Website

Yeah, I turned IS off and it focuses normally. And I agree...if IS is off and your lens clicks...probably not a good thing.
