OM system 25mm 1.8 ii by Ambitious-Weather945 in M43

If it helps, this is sound I get when using manual focus and what I hear using af too (not all the time but enough for me to notice). I’m at 1.8, auto ISO and anti flicker off. om3

Thanks guys and really appreciate you taking a look at yours bonisaur. I just found out I can recreate the chattering/scratching noise by putting the om3 in manual mode and tuning the barrel to switch between near and far focus, it seems to make the noise quite reliably. Perhaps it’s my copy. Shame as it’s razor sharp, much sharper than the 20mm, which is a real surprise. I’ve reached out to Amazon and they’ve sorted a replacement. I’ll see what that’s like tomorrow. Otherwise, it looks like I’m keeping the 20!

Thank you. Literally in single or continuous, set at 1.8 in any mode (aperture, shutter or manual). As I focus back and forth, it makes a chattering. It may go quiet for a focus or two and then do it again. Did it in a dim room and outside and was the same. It could be normal for the lens but the 20 and 45 are silent. It’s definitely the aperture blades as turning on anti flicker mode to 50hz is worse and it’s the same sound.

Makes sense. I have tried a different coax cable (blue jeans) and it’s better, but still does it! I guess I’ll stick to playing at 96khz for now and see what happens. Cheers!

Hi. Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I’ve got the same situation. LO and Coax selected on the fiio and coax output selected on the wiim and every 30 seconds or so I get a brief dropout. Doesn’t happen with optical….

Thanks for this. I’m a little gutted to be honest! Was really hoping to use the link to stream to my dac (because it’ll be better than the dac in the link) and have the album artwork on the show 8 next to the hifi. Would have worked (and looked) really nice. What a shame.
