Yes
I am new to Fuji and have this lens. As soon as I turn the camera on the lens makes a noise like the OIS is operating even when OIS is turned off. The camera is not set to continuous focus so what is going on? It must be a drain on the battery so do I have a duff?

A quick search on google seems to indicate this is normal.

What is LM's?
 
My only real concern is the battery drain. The batteries are small enough as it is, I may have to buy another spare.
 
Yep it's normal, I don't notice it at all anymore. The battery drain doesn't feel particularly excessive, my X-T1 with only the 50-140 attached managed over 1k shots on a single (Ex Pro) battery on Saturday.
 
My 55-200mm does it as well. I won't worry about it at all. If I remember right, some of my Nikon lenses did it as well
 
Many thanks for your replies, I shall try worry about it any more!
 
It is heavier than I would ideally like but it is an improvement over my old Nikon kit. Hubby has the 55-200 and that is significantly lighter but I just wanted the extra lens speed and that comes at a price which, for now, I am willing to accept.

Thanks,i had an Nikon Kit before Fuji,the Nikon 70-210 F2.8 got left at home most of the time just to big to carry,don't want to end up the same with 50-140 :(
 
I find it significantly lighter when out on a long shoot (done a few 10hr plus) than my Nikon days with a 70-200, no aches after which I always got with a DSLR.

That said I only take it out for specific events, if just out and about I will stick with the 23/56 combo.
 
It is so you can rotate a circ polariser with the hood still on.
