ok so I've been messing around with my 35mm lately and I love this thing lol
my main concern is its not as quiet as id expect. the 18-55 is like a whirring sound when its focusing, the 35mm not so much. its not really a clicking sound or a whirring sound, not a clanking sound either. its just alil loud. is this normal?
I know JON has this lens so I wanna ask him aswell? does it seem louder then other lenses? especially the 18-55 kit lens? maybe its just me? lol

yeah I just read reviews about the 50mm nikon 1.8 is loud too and that the 35 is the same, nothing crazy but just alil louder then other lenses.
shouldn't be a big deal I was just worried some ____ was wrong with my camera

Oh, I'm sure it works great, it's just the way you said it. It's like you implied that it's loud simply because it's a Sigma lens.
I just checked the Sigma site, and they have a new version of the 17-70, which has the HSM motor, but it's a Nikon only mount.
