I have the 18-55 kit lens… I tired taking 2 or 3 second long exposure pictures and the lens make a noise. I turned if VR to if it was that but no. Then I turn the auto focusing off still the noise is there. I took the lens off then just use the camera to pressing the shutter button. No noise so it is the lens.
Why would it make noise even when at manual focus. When ever I read the shutter button this noise start from the lens?
Could it be lens motors gone bad?
