My 50-200 lens does make a faint mechanical noise sometimes, perhaps because of OIS. I have noticed, though, that it stops when the shutter is half-pressed. Is that the case with yours?

I do have an 50-200 OiS I from my NX10 and it as well has that noise when OiS is active. You can test that by switching OiS off.

As I am not really using anything with focal length beyond the 85mm it did not bother me to much, but is definitely loud enought to be heard easily.

It seems as well that the 50-200 suffers from quality issues with some being good and some.. well...
