That lens is perfect. But stop doing that shit or you will have a problem. Just take pictures. Stop worrying about noises. You're slamming the focus from end to end. Not good. Go shoot and enjoy. It's a great lens.
Turn off the Vib mode and try again.. My 70-200mm is quiet as like cat feet, but 105mm macro G does made some sound but if i turn off Vib mode then it get quiet too.
may I ask you was the VR on. I would assume it was not on. I used a 70-200 and VR kinda make a bit of noise I was not used to, so I don't know if it is normal or what.. thanks.
@kivexx Well. What does Canon do better? Video? Oh sure, I care SO much about video when im buying a digital SLR. Dude, wtf. Colordepth, dynamic range, ISO-performance. Nikon > Canon. :) Doesnt the D7000 sensor piss on your 550/600/60 and 7D sensor? Oh yes it does. Go and make up rubbish about another brand in a different place, like Fritzl's cellar maybe?
Um.. well the focusing sounds like focusing, but if that static-y sound is from the lens and not the camera then maybe you should send it in to Nikon.
When you have to say 'put the volume way up' that means its not very loud. I'm pretty sure that's normal because my 55-200mm is way louder. good luck with the new lens!
Journalists and Sports Photographers don't care about the corners being soft. All important details/subjects are usually fill the middle of the frame. Softer corners, especially at widest aperture actually bring more attention to the subject in the middle.
Assuming the buzz is due to ambient noise, the sound 70-200 does sound like that. The slight knock is heard when the focusing elements hit their limits.
unfortunately for you this nikon lens completely trumps the canon equivalent in sharpness and build quality. i cant see how that focus is 'slow' - faster than most that i have seen
as someone who's used both, they're the same. but CaNikon's 70-200mm f/2.8 lenses don't focus nearly as fast as their 300mm f/2.8 USM or AF-S lenses.
I think it's very same as the Canon version's. Just testet my cheapoo 70-200 F/4 L and it couldn't be a smaller difference in speed, though my lens go to 1.2 meters instead of 1.5:) But the difference is small however...
I still love my 70-200 F/2.8 I couldnt imagine not having that extra stop of light. I also find canon lens to be at there sharpest if you stop down 2 stops from wide open which would be 5.6 for the F/2.8 and f/8 for the F/4.
O sorry, I meant that the autofocus speed is the same. Ofcourse I would prefer a 2.8 if I could afford it. But no man:), you should use all these 70-200 wide open. The Canon version of the 70-200 F/4 is slightly sharper then the 2.8 at F/4, but sure they are getting a bit sharper at 5.6 but, you lose a stop of light, and luminous intensity is what you pay for sort of...
I own this lens and to my knowledge thats normal. mine does the same thing and I agree with whoever said above about it more than likely being the elements coming to the end of the focus range.
that is the focus of silence
