My copy seems doesn't have this issue, but I can double check tonight.

It's something you really have to look for....

In a completely quiet room, slowly turn the zoom ring, it FAINTLY will "tick tick tick". It's very faint... this isn't like "CLICK CLICK CLICK".

Thanks qianp2k. This is EXACTLY what the noise sounds like. Some folks may not even know their's is affected if they don't test out the zoom ring in a quiet environment. I'm still not sure if I want to swap mine out as it seems many owners have the same issue. What if I get one with worse optics and it still ticks?
