Thanks for the response. I'm just surprised, considering how quiet my other STM lenses are, and the fact that all STM lenses are touted for video use due to their quiet operation.

The test pics are great so far.

The three primes (24,40,50) have a different smaller STM drive type that is not silent.

I was also a bit surprised at the sound of the 24 AF during my first video test, but indeed the STM drive must be different. The 50 is quieter than the 24, but the 18-55 and 55-250 kit zooms are silent by comparison. The flipside is the 24 and 50 go together with my SL1 in a tiny carry bag that makes it very easy to go everywhere.

The photo quality is awesome with this lens, and it even has decent bokeh at f/2.8 up close.
