Hey all, I just finally got this awesome lens and immediately noticed a wierd issue that doesn't seem to affect performance at all, and I was hoping to see if someone could shed some light on it for me.
In video mode (only), when I adjust the aperture it makes an audibly distinct "clicking" noise. Doesn't matter if I'm going wider or narrower, each stop makes a noise. In a quiet room, it's actually almost as loud as the shutter when you half-press AF. It doesn't seem to affect performance however, manual focus (still new and a bit rigid) is smooth and on target, and when I shed light on the front element I can see the aperture opening and closing apparently just fine and without issue. Googling this issue returns a number of results saying others have this too and it's not an issue, but a few state that it's a problem and to send it back. Personally, I've never had a lens do this so I don't know what to do.
Any and all assistance would be most appreciated, thanks!
