IS does make a noise, but it shouldn't be loud enough to make you jump. In fact, you ought not to hear it in most circumstances. When I used to shoot with my 100-400 IS, I could only feel the IS engaging, but no sound. I suppose the 28-135 should behave the same. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
