Mine makes a noise inside the lens when focusing. Like a friction of something mechanical without enough lubricant kind of noise. Is it normal?

It does make an audible motor sound, however, in my experience it's what I would characterize as fairly quiet. In a silent room, it's certainly noticeable, but it's still less volume than the shutter of the camera. If it's grinding, that's not normal, but the sound of the parts moving is not unusual.

When disconnected or unpowered, the optical stabilization elements do shake/rattle inside of the lens. When mounted to the camera and the camera is turned on the shaking/rattling ceases. This is the only lens I've encountered that has this "feature."

It may be the VR, which can make a clicking sound and humming sound. Turn it on and take shots, then turn off and take shots and see if there's a difference. Also, just test it when taking a shot; if it clicks and stops after the photo has been taken, it's the VR and nothing to worry about. VR includes little motors in the lens, so it's just those motors working.

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

I have not had this problem. I would suggest some cleaner. Perhaps the manufacturer can make a recommendation based on the exact materials used to make the lenses.

Mine does the same thing. Lens seems to work just fine. Probably has a friction clutch which permits the focus ring to turn past the stops

Hi, I don't find it anymore noisy than the majority of motorized lens. You can always turn of the servo and focus it manually, if wanted. How often are you close enough to a bird or animal with a 300mm lens that a slight motor sound is going to effect things?

To the best of my knowledge all non-STM motors result in lens noise while recording. The other review sounds like they were confusing the full time manual (FTM) focus feature of most USM lenses as somehow creating more noise than non-FTM lenses, not true. STM lenses are specifically engineered to have a slower more controlled AF while recording video, thus producing less noise than all other Canon lenses.

Not on either the surface of the lens (back or front), nor anyplace inside the lens. Check to see if there is anything on the surface, although even if there was it should be out of focus. Are you seeing this through the viewfinder of your camera (or LCD display), or when you look through the lens (detached from the camera)? If you do not see it with another lens on the LCD display, then the problem is with this new lens. If you do see it with other lenses, then possibly dirt on the camera's sensor. In either case, try to exchange the product.

I have used the adaptor with 50mm f/1.2, 85mm, 35mm, 16-35mm,24-70mm, 100mm, 70-200mm and 100-400mm and it didn't make any noise. The problem could be you're having a defected adaptor or damaged lens contacts. In general, the adaptor works perfectly well.

I have the same camera. It's perfectly normal. It's just the camera focusing.

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.

I had never heard that before, where did you read that?I haven't had any problems so far with my lens

If the lens is mounted and the camera is "On" then you may be hearing the aperture. This is normal. If the lens isn't mounted and you can hear a clunk if you move it this would not be normal.

Hello! I have this same issue but with my Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM, so i guess uit was because the engine inside has a little problem and can only be useful in amanual mode. By any chance did you try to rotate the lens while you were on Automatic mode? Because that causes a rupture in the mechanism inside, if the problem is from the beggining then ask the dealer if it can fix it, otherwise use it in manual, it actually improves the quality pf the photos!

Hi T.I have two of the powershot SX130is's the first is broke due to a slippery rock in a stream while attempting to get that perfect shot. The Second I just bought from Amazon's scratch and dent used department and I checked mine out it seems that if you put your finger over they out side of the lens cover and give it another shake you will lose that rattling sound.
