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.

I dont have the 50-200mm to compare, but am an owner of the 18-200mm which is reasonably quite and certainly hasn't warrented my attention to any noise. I will also add that the 18-200mm has always been advertised by Samsung to be 'optimised' for video referencing quite autofocus. I would guess that would indicate its difference from the 50-200mm.
