raghav Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Hi, I just got my new 55-250 IS lens, very excited about that. :) However, doing my initial experimental shots, I heard a distinct whirring noise from the lens whenever the IS function was switched on. (mounted on my EOS 350D) Has anyone experienced something similar ? I wonder, if its a universal thing with that lens (because I didnt find anything like that in any reviews I read before ordering that)... or I just got a bad piece ? cheers raghav..

bobatkins Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 The IS gyros make noise. Normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan_goulet Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 It's the IS system in the lens. Normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhut-nguyen Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I love that sound! It's the IS running, enjoy your new lens and make a lot of fantastic shots with it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
