Noisy Canon 70-300 IS Zoom
I received this lens new on Tuesday and I find that the IS feature is
distractingly noisy at longer range. At 70mm it is much quieter. I also have the Canon 17-85 IS and it is very quiet if not entirely silent. Did I get a defective lens or do all 70-300 IS lenses behave in this manner? Thanks for any input! BEK

BEK Hi BEK, I've go the same lens and I must say I've not noticed it being exceptionally noisy, however, to be honest I've never used it in a very quite place either. I do find it hunts quite a bit at 300 mm if you are not in a well lit situation (I often end up going to MF) but I've not noticed it being loud. I'll test it out again tonight.... Bates.....

The sound I'm hearing is definitely the IS and not the auto focus. If I turn off IS, I don't hear the sound. It is a constant rapid clicking or maybe grinding sound. Not sure how to describe it. Thanks for your help. BEK

Thanks for your help. BEK Yes, it's noisy alright. But I find it reassuring. dwight www.tfrog93.com
