tuan151 Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #1 · Defective Tamron 28-300 ?? Hey Guys, So my D700 and 28-300 VC came in today, but I think I got a defective lens. While handling the lens, I can hear something lose inside and while taking pictures pictures the VC is extremely loud. I am not sure if this is how the VC works with Tamrons. For all those who have this lens, how loud is the VC? And does the lens rattle like something is lose inside? This is my first Tamron so I am a little disappointed..... Tuan Aug 02, 2008 at 02:59 AM

I haven't really shaken mine to see if there is a rattle but the VC is a little louder to engage then the VR of the Nikon but in my opinion, works much better and clearly locks in when it locks in. I have been getting handhelds a 1/5. Only you can decide whether yours is faulty but if you are uncomfortable, send it back. I love mine. Aug 02, 2008 at 04:19 AM

Taylor Barrett Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #4 · Defective Tamron 28-300 ?? Do you have a local camera store? Go and try their model and compare clunking noises. Remember, noise cannot ever be expressed over the internet so there are degrees of acceptability that differ in everyone here. Some people could be deaf and a jet engine would be quiet, but some can hear the slightest buzz. The only way to truly compare is to compare with yourself, because thats the person you're trying to please. Aug 02, 2008 at 04:43 AM

I will try to find a place that has one, but there are not many Camera shops close by to where I am. I know noise can be subjective, but I can hear the VC buzz from my lens across the room.
