My biggest concern about the noise would be if it was caused by something that could result in minuscule shavings of plastic or metal and end up getting on the glass. One person who has been re-quoted multiple times heard from someone that their noise went away after a while, but I\'d still need to know from Sony what the cause was before I\'d keep mine otherwise there could be future problems. It\'s simply to expensive of an item to have problems out of the gate. Mine shows up in less than 5 hrs from Roberts/Indianapolis, hopefully it\'s from a different batch. No one would drive off a car lot heating an unfamiliar noise and not turn right back around and get an answer, no matter how sexy the new car was. I still want to give Sony the chance to respond and want the oppty to evaluate this lens with an open mind vs the Batis, but given how good the Batis is and my troubles with the 35/1.4, I\'m not going through that again.
