RF 70-200 f/2.8 makes rattling sound when being shaken

Don't Shake an EF100 L Macro (!)

If this tendency to rattle troubles you, don't try shake-checking all lenses.

My EF 100 L Macro sounds terrible, as do other examples of the lens that I've checked (four or five) but the ability to make noise does NOT effect its ability to make images...

A long-time Camera shop owner tells me that the 100L is one of the few L lenses in which the "stabilizer doesn't 'park".  I'm not certain if that's accurate, I'm just repeating the claim. Maybe your new lens is the same design?
