Thanks for the input. I guess my lens is normal in making more noise than the others.

yes the original X primes 18 35 and 60 are noisy clunky little buggers, compared to my 18-55 (and Zeiss 32) which are virtually silent, as is the 23 on my X100S.  A rumor floated around for a spell that those primes were getting upgrades to quieter and smoother internal focus mechanisms found in the later prime releases like the 14 23 and 56, but I don't know if that's true.

Oh, my 14mm is a noisy clunky bugger too!
