My Mamiya 7, 80mm lens makes a very faint noise when I roll it in my hand. Its an odd sound, like someone poking a cellophane balloon. Whatever is making the noise is not completely loose, floating around in the lens.
Is this normal? Does anyone else hear a noise coming from their 80mm?
Thanks.

Mine does make a noise. I think it comes from a sort of ball bearing. I once had my lens disassembled, and remember i saw some, seemingly loose, bearing balls there. Sorry, i can´t remember more accurately between which parts were those balls...
I have always thought the noise is normal.

it is normal. start to worry when it no longer makes the noise (time for cla). Used the 7 and 7ii since it was released and all the lenses make noise.

I've never heard any noise from my 80mm. Nor from the 50mm. But I've had my Mamiya 7 for about 3-4 years.

If I take the lens off, I can hear what sounds like something moving around inside. Totally normal I would guess.
