Do you hear something wiggle inside the lens when you shake it a little bit? I hear something inside but the lens works perfectly.

Yeah there is a very little wiggle sound. If that's what you're hearing when you shake the lens that's fine. No need to worry! I have it on mine also and it works perfectly fine.

Sam, Thanks for the question. I primarily take still shots so I do not know much about the shaking. It is a very good, hight quality all around lens. I'll give it a video test run and get back to you on the results. Best, Jonathan

When I received mine, the outer rim/ring surrounding the fisheye lens was very loose. It doesn't come off, but I can move it around. Was anyone else's like that or is it just normal?

Send it back immediately- Amazon is great about returns. Mine is as solid as a brick and is the best built lens I own. You will see when you get another one back.!

Yes I received mine a week ago and the lens crashes into the filter; not just in macro but any time the camera struggles to focus. Reading online apparently the lens can protrude a little when focusing causing the crash. I think I got a lemon so the adapter ring is going back.Update: nevermind I'm just a dumbass. I had accidentally assembled it in the wrong order. All is good and focus works fine. Since it is possible to put together backwards it makes me wonder how many of the focus reports are just user error.

I have the same lens and it's my favorite lens. Mine does not make any noise like you've described.

I've been using this lens for several months now and I do not hear such a sound as described. You should probably have it checked out.

Does the lens make a noise when it auto focuses or zooms? I make YouTube videos and if my camera zooms in the middle of me talking in a video that would just be distracting and awkward. :/

Hi Chris,Is this lens new or used? Because as of today it's malfunctioning while zooming in-out

If it's any consolation, I didn't end up pulling out the lens cover pieces - I just put the camera away in a drawer and forgot about it. About 3 months later I took it out again, charged up the battery and it hasn't missed a beat since! The lens works perfectly. So, maybe it just needs a rest, a kick around in the bottom of a drawer or a good thump...

I've had mine for a few years and haven't really had issues with it. I personally think it is a gorgeous lens.

Yes, this is typical of this lens. Once it is energized the rattle disappears.

Yes. it does so in mine also. I think it is when you turn it off or you deactivate the AF that the lens probably detaches something inside.

We have had the same problem with our S9100. Like Mr Braun said, gently wiggling the lense fixes it. This happens quite often with ours; very frustrating!

Thanks, Philip. I kept mine, still really pleased. Learned that shooting in "Auto" is my best friend right now (clear crisp photos at any distance from macro to nearly all zoom), but glad to hear the "shaken when stirred" is not a sign of something wrong, or about to go wrong. Best wishes.

Yes, they do. (Bought mine on eBay last week though...) According to another site, a forum said it may be at least six months before they'd fix the issue, but without guarantee... Your luck's been pressed. It's just a loose part inside under the shutter button, at least that's where the shaking 'click' seemed to my ears.

I smacked mine a couple of times on the side of the lens took an air can and blew in all the cracks and crevices, Put electronic endust on a lens cleaning tissue and forcefully pulled the telephoto lens out gently while pushing on the extension button and wiped it all clean several times. Even ran the tissue a ways into the crevice surrounding the lens. Somehow it started working again which thrilled me since Ehow wanted $176 just to look at it if I would send it in. It still sounds a little scratchy but I will continue cleaning it every use. It sounds like it has a minute piece of sand or something in it. Hope this will work for you.
