OK, just got my XF 18mm f/2 R, is it REALLY noisy? Noisy when I turn it on/off, during AF? The movement of the aperture blades is louder than my other lenses (XF 27mm and XF 18-55mm).
Usually the 35/1.4 gets the crown of being the noisiest.
I had the 18/2 and 35/1.4 at the one time. They both were similar in noise, I didn't really notice one over the another. Maybe I already got deafened by that time
Outside of the Fujicrons, most Fuji glass is relatively noisy. Some lenses more than others - 18mm, 27mm, 35mm being the worst cultprits.
Especially when comparing to my Sony FE glass (28mm/35mm/55mm/85mm), which is all near silent. Have to put the lens right up to my ear to hear anything.

Debating what's next, maybe the 50mm. I got the 18mm and 27mm because I like the focal length. I know the 23mm and 35mm are newer with faster and quieter AF, I'm not just sure they're for me.
