Thanks for that, as I'd forgotten to check my 90-280. Because of it's size I keep it in a different draw and so I totally overlooked it.

Thanks again.

Only in Leica world could someone casually forget about a $7k lens. 😳😁

Updated now. It's a lens I don't use a lot but I certainly wouldn't like to be without it.

Cheers, Tom

Hi I'm new here. I live in Austria and just started to work with my new Leica equipment. I have a new SL2 with the APO SL 24-90 and I really was wondering whats going on, when I used it the first time. The noise when I turned the zoom ring was loud and a little strange. After I updated the lens firmware from 1.0 to 2.0 the noise now has gone. Thank you for this thread and for the link too, because the lens firmware update was not easy to find for me.

Had the same problem. Now with firmeware 2.1 my lens is quiet.
Thank you!!!

Can someone please verify, is the SL lens up date 2.1 or 2.0?  The link that is posted on this forum entry is for 2.0.  

I have 2.0 on my 24-90 and have the clicking, very faint but it's there. 

Thanks

I downloaded the firmware from the link provided, (even though it clearly states the firmware version is 2.0).  This does upgrade the lens firmware to 2.1, and the clicking noise is gone. 

Don't understand why the link shows 2.0, as that is what had been on my lens prior to this upgrade. 

End result is good.
