problem with my new 70-200 f/4 IS any advice?

[BES]

Thanks guys, you are so great and responsive. This is my first L lens and I am so new to this, I want it to be a good lens and use it for a while. As you recommend, I will take it to the store and compare with one on their display, maybe it will make me more comfortable. In the mean time, I did not notice any focusing issues, so it started to make me feel better.


That buzz is weird though. Maybe I just will need to get used to it.

I nearly asked the same question but researched it on the net first.
The 70-200 f4 IS is noisier than other canon IS lenses. I never
realised that any of my other IS lenses made any noise until I got them
all out in a quiet room and checked. You can hear the giros on all of
them but the 70-200 is the only one that actually attracts your
attention. Dont worry - Its OK, Just enjoy the 4 stop advantage that this IS lens delivers. I have had mine at the
Rallycross track for the past 2 weeks and got some awsome sharp images
panning in mode 2


edit:: Look like the forum has cropped these images. I didnt frame them like this!![]

Great images!


Thanks for assurance. I did the same, went on every forum, even called Canon directly and now I know it it perfect. I know what happened, and someone pointed that out....i was so fascinated by the lens i was not paying attention to the noise, plus I was outside in the park and the noises were killing the humming of the lens. In addition, like a dork, I had a beeping noise for AF turned on. So I was hearing that and not anything else. Once I turned it off, I was hearing ALL kinds of things I have never heard before. As you can tell, i am a newbie [:$]


Thanks for your response, you guys rock!
