Is anyone else getting noises from their lens when it's doing stabilization? I get a stream of rapid, soft clicks and pops when I turn on OIS (and only when I turn on OIS). It's loud enough to be recorded in video mode, and sounds worrisome as I use it!

The lens is brand new, and my kit lens does not have this problem.

Yes, as far as I can tell, it`s normal with this lens. You`re right about OIS being the culprit. Now that you mention it, I haven`t noticed it with kit lens. Since I`m not taking much video, it doesn`t bother me, but obviously can be an issue for some. Surprisingly, I didn`t see it mentioned in any reviews of this lens.
