Is it normal for this lens that u hear the IS working? Each time I shoot a second after I hear this clicky niose coming from inside the lens. Its relatively loud. Its after the clicky sound is over that the image is shown on LCD. Granted being used to the old 75-300 USM this one shoots crystal clear photos. Was just wondering that the sound of the les is ok and not that its a broken piece
 
I could hear the IS motor on my 70-300mm and just got used to it. You maybe shooting before the IS has done its business if you can hear after you shoot though.
 
Yeah, my 70-300 IS motor is definitely audible, more so than the one in my 28-135mm.

Not sure if I hear clicky noises coming from it, just sounds like a motor spinning inside. After I take a shot with it the IS system continues for a few more seconds before stopping even after releasing the shutter button fully.

I personally wouldn't worry about it and just enjoy using it. :)
 
Yes, you'll hear the IS motors working whilst taking the shot and for a short period afterwards, nothing to worry about :thumbs:
 
this lens is notorious for how loud the IS is, just google it and you'll see many posts confirming how loud the IS is
 
Yep they are noisy,my IS has actually packed in on mine,but still a good sharp lens using manual.:):thumbs:
 
Yes, it makes a noise.
 
mine makes a small humming...rotating sound.
I was surprised when i got my hands on a friends 100-400L that I couldn't hear the IS at all.
