Yesterday my RF 70-200 f/2.8 arrived. When I took it from the box, I found it made rattling sound when I gently shook it. Looks like the floating lens element for IS are movable even when it's disconnected from the camera.

I know some rather old lenses with IS do make rattling noise when being shaken, but I'm not sure this is true on this newly released lens.

So for anyone who also have this lens, is this reproducible on your copy? I'd appreciate if you can tell me.

BTW, I haven't put it on my camera because my EOS R is still on its way.

Better question is why are you shaking your lens around?
