paul.bridges.3388 Posted April 15, 2021 Share #1 Posted April 15, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just picked up a used 24-90 for my SL2-S. It looks as described - mint. The only niggle is a noise when zooming. It’s like a mechanical metallic clicking, from within the barrel of the lens. Is this normal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 Hi paul.bridges.3388, Take a look here 24-90 zoom noise. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
paul.bridges.3388 Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share #2 Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) Recording of the sound. This makes it sound very loud...but it’s barely noticeable with ambient noise. The noise is absent when powered down. IMG_1027.MOV Edited April 15, 2021 by paul.bridges.3388 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we know if this is a “fault”? There was talk of returns to Leica for “fixing”. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slender Posted April 15, 2021 Share #5 Posted April 15, 2021 It's gone with FW 2,0 for lenses. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppyman Posted April 15, 2021 Share #6 Posted April 15, 2021 I initiated the first thread on this. It is not a fault requiring lens repair. I confirm that the firmware update fixes the issue 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausimo Posted April 16, 2021 Share #7 Posted April 16, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have the same metallic clicking sound on my SL2-S firmware 1.0 and the 24-90 firmware 1.2. I downloaded the latest lens firmware and tried to update but the camera says “Update file is same version as current firmware” Op, did you manage to resolve the issue?

ausimo Posted April 16, 2021 Share #8 Posted April 16, 2021 I found the 2.0 firmware for the lens. The problem is resolved. Thanks everyone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
