50mm 1.8G autofocus starting to squeek

[PaulWog]

It's starting to get a little noisier, and the lens is squeaking while focusing. The autofocus is still accurate and seems to be just as fast. Has anyone experienced this with a modern G lens, and does this get worse?

It 's not supposed to squeak.

Send it in for a clean and lube, or repair.

Sorry to hear that, never pleasant when the gear shows defects.

It's a mass produced, lots of plastic, consumer grade lens.
Many features lenses used to have no longer exist so lens makers can keep their prices low enough the masses can afford to buy their lenses.
