Hi Chuck,
not thinking about these noises is my strategy too
VR lenses make noise, as they have floating elements that (if I recall correctly) are held in place electro-magnetically once the lens is used by the body. But non-VR lenses shouldn't, I think, make any noise or almost
My 35 ART makes a tiny bit of noise of this kind. It's just that the 24ART makes more of it, giving the impression something *really* is loose.
Still, an amazing lens (and my copy seems very well centered too). I also own the 24 1.4G (am a 24mm freak), and sharpness wise there is just no comparison.
While this can be of interest to some people only (for others seem to love more the 24G rendering... I have shot them too little to compare this), what truly has shocked me is how *reliably* the 24ART focuses.
The 24G (as was the 35G) are notorious offenders in this aspect, and this is much, much welcome news to me.
If you love your 35ART, and like 24, you should give it a try
Bests, and have a nice weekend,
Lory

I hear you, Lory. I have the 35 Art but not the 24. I have noticed the type of inner "floating" sort of looseness in other lenses - e.g. my 70-200 and it caused concern, for sure. I researched and found just enough anecdotal evidence to tell myself not to worry and I now just try to avoid such movement because it does seem weird to me to feel that internal motion.
*shrug*
I'm of no use to you other than to say my impression is some lenses exhibit that characteristic and I just put my pillow over my head as I fall asleep and try not to think about it as long as the lens seems to be working.
Please let me/us know if you discover any more definitive information...
Regards,
Chuck
