I'm new to the world of Zeiss lenses and need a quick confirmation. My new (used) Distagon 21mm f/2.8 ZF (not the ZF.2 version) arrived today. Optically and mechanically it's fantastic. However, I'm curious about the noise I hear when I focus. It may be perfectly normal, but I've never had a Zeiss lens before.
Anyway, when I turn the focus ring I hear a ZZZZ ZZZZ noise. (I feel like I'm describing something I hear in my car to my mechanic...). My guess is it's very fine gears working together. I have many lenses from many other manufacturers, and they're smooth and quiet. Is this how Zeiss lenses sound? It's smooth, but certainly not quiet!
