35mm 1.8 AF-S noisy?

[DpM]

I have just bought the above lens and find it to be quite noisy when focusing. Does anyone else notice this on a D40/D40x/D60 or the newer non motor bodies?

I'm guessing the D90 etc will use their own on board motor and therefore not have this issue?

If anyone can comment.

Thanks

I have one and it's a little noisy but not too bad. All cameras will use the AFS motor in the lens.

Unless you send the AF hunting, there usually only a very short *click*. Nothing as loud as the mirror flap and the shutter mechanism.

So are you saying it is a noisy lens when the AF is hunting?

Not really. It's a bit of a high-frequency squealing sound.

If you use your AF-sensors correctly, this shouldn't happen though.

Most camera stores have a demo model. Why don't you give it a try?

The one I bought was the last one, display model from a Jessops near my work place.
My local Jessops does not have one on display at all I don't think, I might phone and check.
