Hello guys, I just recently puchased the 17-50mm f2.8 sigma lens. Mine appear to have the loose lens element. I have recorded the situation, hope you guys can help me! i just received the unit today from 47th street camera. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPTa6Xxi-nkThis is the 18-55mm canon Kit lens, i use the 17-50mm to shoot this video. it seems that the lens is working fine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OS-b70mUG0sIs this normal? Or should i return it to the seller? |

It's the IS mechanism. Mount it on the camera and turn the camera on and I'll bet the rattle goes away.

Yes, once i turn on the camera, the sound goes off. This is normal? Have you seen the video? The sound is loud.

I just tested one and mine made the same noise. I presume it's normal.
The review will appear here in a week or so, along with a review of the Canon EF-S 17-55/2.8 IS (which also rattles, but less then the Sigma!).

Thank you so much Mr Bob! I really love your works and reviews! Hope to see the review next week. I also hope to see how the Canon rattles, compared to the Sigma. Thanks alot!
Now I am much more relieved.
