Hi, new to Fuji system. Just received a copy of XF55-140 and I have a question for the owners of XF55-140 regarding noises the lens makes.
When I turn X-T1's power on with 55-140 mounted, I hear a gentle whirring sound that I assume to be generated by OIS motor (as a Canon shooter, I am familiar with most of the noises made by their lenses - their version of OIS, the IS makes the same kind of noise when engaged). However, with the 55-140, the noise continues even after I turn off the OSS switch on the lens. In fact, I hear it the entire time the power is on. I turned off High Performance setting in camera's menu but it did not make a difference. By the way, the kit lens, the 18-55's OIS does not do this, but it is completely silent whether it's on or off.
Also, the lens rattles inside when I shake the lens when it's disconnected from the camera or mounted on the camera with the camera power turned off. Again, I have a Canon lens (100L Macro) that does this, but depending on when the power is switched off, this rattling can be minimized.
So the question is: is this the normal behavior for this lens? Is it because the OIS assembly of 55-140 is much larger and allowed to move more?
TIA
