90V lens manual focusing noise

[vitdev]

Hi, I've just received new 90V (after months of waiting) and I noticed that unlike 55V (which is silent) manual focusing is pretty loud on 90V (both over wire and mechanical). It seems like it's loud only when the camera is on though (or when within focusing range if using over wire).

Here is the video: https://youtube.com/shorts/X0HSLcTcqY4

It's loud. It's been mentioned several times already.

It's loud. It's been mentioned several times already.

I saw only mentions of loud shutter (which is not that loud, quite similar to XCD 135), I haven't seen anyone mentioned loud manual focusing (and all the lens I ever had had nearly silent manual focusing).

PS Hasselblad support responded that loud focusing sound is expected.

Apologies. I misunderstood your comment.

The 55mm is perfectly silent. It's incomprehensible that this one is so noisy.
I'll move on and wait for a noiseless version.

Once again, the former XCD90 f/3.2 is EXCELLENT, and about the same weight and noise as the 90V. And cheaper !

I didn't want this lens, but I saw this video and when my dealer mentioned she had it, I took it! It's a really good lens. I love all three of the V lenses.
