IS noise from E-PM2

After mounting my new Bower 7.5mm on the E-PM2 and adjusting the mag and MF settings, I noticed a very loud noise from the IS when taking a shot with > 1/2s shutter speed. It actually sounds like the IS is reaching the limits of travel and bouncing off the sides! I realized the IS FL was set to 50mm, so I changed it to 8mm, but the noise is still present. Has anyone else had this issue? I haven't tested it on my E-M5 yet. I'm wondering if this lens is better off without IS given the short FL.
