I jus got this lens and it's really loud while focusing? Is this just how the lens is or did I get a faulty one?

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.

Are you happy/satisfied with the one you've got? I'm not sure how you can tell but I'm sure there are those who know. My opinion is "if it aint broke, don't fix it". That being said, I am very satisfied with this lens and would highly suggest it.

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 mine for a long time now and never had any focusing issues. One of my favorite lens. I was so pleased with it I also now have the 30mm f1.4

I don't know. I love my lens. Haven't had any problems with it. Wish i could buy a stronger one than 200mm. Sherry

Sorry, I can't help, I only had this lens for a very short time, not long enough to evaluate noise. I can only say that it did not attract my attention. I suggest that you ask this question in the FujiForum where you will find lots of other helpful and informative topics.

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

well put it into a different focus mode like one focus instead of continuous or just do manual focus. there should be no other motor sound i love my hs30exr have had it for almost 2 years.

I have never experienced this problem with this lens and the lens is next to your ear , when using this lens the speed of focusing was very fast and the quality of photos were excellent. When shooting runway this was a great lens. I am currently shooting with a 17-70mm 2.8 lens giving me more flexibility during weddings, but the 105mm is a nice portrait lens as is the 85mm lens.

I used this lens for one year until yesterday without any problems. Just yesterday I am experiencing the same issue: quite focus hunting when zoomed out at 70+ and when it stops it is not on focus! Any idea?

I have the same problem and mine miss focuses too. I have contacted Nikon, but I'm still waiting for a reply. I'm curious if this lens is a waste of money? Did you guys ever find out what was wrong?

Yes. Only annoying thing about this lens is that when you powered the camera, there is a rattling sound in reside the lens. It is not a defect from the manufacturer. Other than that it is a beautiful lens.

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

My Sigma 1.4 lens isn't focusing properly. Purchased it Oct.9th. Won't focus past 6 feet. I have to send it to Markam Ontario for repairs. And it will cost me for repairs. No warranty?????

I got this lens for my brother, and I really like it, we used a lot. Take a look of some pictures at www.mediawork.ws

mine is ok,but if you hear a noise when you have it on autofocus mode,that noise is normal(its like ka,ka,ka)

I would presume that this is normal, as my 14-140 OIS switch is also the same way. Other than that, I think it is a terrific lens.
