Quick questions DW. How quiet should the action be as when focusing? The motors sound to me to be a lot louder than the 18-70. Is this par for the course?
Great price, well done.

It's the same with the Nikkor 70-300mm, it's much louder than the other lenses. I think it's something to do with the wider focal range, meaning longer back and forward travel for the focusing elements therefore more powerful motors.

Jessops have turned into the Woolworth of camera stores, plenty of stuff but nothing you'd want to buy.
