Nikon 35 1.8 DX used, keep or not?

Hi, just received a nikon 35mm 1.8f DX that I bought second hand.

Can someone that owns or has owned one of these help me out. I think the AF is very squeaky and there is also a tiny bit of internal dust (doesn't seem to affect images).

There is a video on my OneDrive here http://1drv.ms/18RKdfk you can see the bit of dust and hear the AF.

Should I return it to the seller, or is this how these lenses are?

It should be silent. That sounds fecked. You've been done.

Cheers, that's all I needed to hear. Its going back. Knew I should have just bought new.

When you do get a good 'un they're awesome! I had one a while back and bought second hand. Never had any issues with mine and I took some of my best images with it.

Enjoy it when it's sorted!

I owned one for a year so can safely say you've got a duff 'un

Just waiting on the seller to get back to me. Hopefully get refund quickly and go get a new one.

Took a few shots on tripod with this and my kit zoom to compare and its a good bit sharper, shame its not a keeper.

Got my refund, seller was very understanding and no hassle. I'll get myself a new one tomorrow.
