Hey Guys!

This is my first post so sorry if i am not adhering to any forum rules or regs just yet.

I was trying to get decent photos of the Airshow today (despite the terrible weather) but i fear i may have ruined the experience for a few innocent bystanders, because the noise of my AF focusing Sigma Lens completely dwarfed that of the F16 ha ha.

The lens is the 70-300mm Sigma, and i have read a couple of things already about them being noisy and troublesome? problem is i bought it from a camera shop that has now closed down.. and it was second hand when i bought it :(

Anyone have any bright ideas?

thank you!
 
Does the manual focus ring move backwards and forwards (as if to turn AF on/off) as well as an AF/MF switch? My 24-70 2.8 does and if it's set to manual on the ring, but AF on the switch.. then it too is noisy.

Strange set up...
