Yes, indeed

My 16-50 had the very same-sounding click near 60mm. It was also badly de-centered at that "clicky" end focal length. Double edges appeared on objects near the left edge. I returned it to the store for a refund, and got no argument. A shame you're experiencing that with such a great lens. I hope you won't be discouraged from trying another copy. They can be found for nearly half off the very high full retail. I bought mine in new condition  gray market with a one-year seller warranty, for $399 U.S.  Worth every cent.
