Re: RF 85mm f2 macro lens idle noise

Yes, it uses some battery (minor) when idle and the camera is on. With it off, the sensor in the R5/6 free floats, and most IS lenses free floats the IS group too, and indeed you can hear a slight rattle if you shake an IS lens when detached from the camera. But the lens is designed that way. And you won't harm it from normal handling.
