When i turn the lens in my hand i hear a click as something is sliding slightly from side to side. Is this normal?

I've never had the experience that you are having. Contact Amazon for a replacement.

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

The clicking is normal. It stops when you attach the lens to your camera and power it on.

Screw in center needs to be tight...no wobbly...and the rotation quit on mine after a short time (couple weeks of 24/7)...a little light lube might get it going again...I suggest 3-in-one oil...sewing machine oil...don't get it on the lens or it will crap it out...I used P-B Blaster and it wasted my lens...but it quit spinning again very shortly ,so that was a moot point...hthy...Hobbiehubbcapp.

If you hear a click before and after focus and release the shutter in your camera is totally normal....switch the VR off and you will notice that the click disappears...not big deal is totally normal...actually i have a few lenses that click in some way when the VR or OS or VC is ON....for me the results are that really matters...however..without the Vr if the noise of "click" is there then you should call nikon or if you can return for an exchange....good luck...I have thus lens and i made an extensive research about it...plus, I have another lenses like the 105 sigma OS macro and tamron 70-300 VC that some way make some "click" when the VC,OS, or VR is on...

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.

I have found that it goes on easily in the correct position, but seems to get stuck on the lens when reversed. It has been stuck so bad, that I thought I was going to damage the lens getting it off.

I have had this problem. Very gently wiggling the lens seems to retract the lens, with no observable effect, at least in my case. But do so at your own risk! This camera has become useless to me for a different reason -- dust has collected on the lens inside the camera, with no obvious way to open the camera to clean it. I get very bad blotches on my photos, especially when using the zoom.

Hi - I do not think this is "normal" - mine didn't rattle - that sounds to me like the camera has something broken inside. I would return and get a replacement. It may work great now....but what about the future? However, I am no expert. Best of luck

Your sensor might be dirty - this requires professional cleaning. The battery would have nothing to do with it. Your lens might be set to MF (manual focus) on accident too!

I've gotten used to the way mine mounts I guess. I would describe the difference as "clunky" or not as smooth but it shouldn't be a significant difference. It's an excellent lens that I shoot with weekly.

Yeah the exact same thing happen to me. I hope the lens it's stuck to is not too expensive. Cause the way I chose to remove it was by forcefully twisting it off. If it's a cheap kit lens a little plastic piece will break off. But the lens will work just fine. It won't destroy it, just modify it a little.

Mine does the same thing. Not pleased with it at all. It will also come loose form the lens real easy. It just won't stay tightened. Don't know what else to buy. I just quit using it on my tripod. Wouldn't recommend this at all, I give it a 00000000!!

Jenna, I do not have this issue. There is a slight noise while focusing but not a loud noise. Possibly take to a local camera store to checkout? Good luck. Rich.

It may also be the case that you are looking at used or refurbished lenses. I bought one used, it is like new and an excellent lens for low price. Best regards

There may be film covering the lense or it may have been a low light situation otherwise try a different computer

My lens is very smooth & quiet. We did have an issue with dirt inside the elements of the first lens and had to get a replacement. I suspect their manufacturing is not 100%

It is a little stiff, especially when new. If my experience is typical, it will loosen up a bit with time. Great lens, though.
