[QUOTE="nickt, post: 647250, member: 4923"] I have this lens for about a month now. I noticed that it keeps the meter active much longer for some reason, about 90 seconds. I just tried reviewing an image and that stays on for about 90 seconds as well. The meter turns off a few seconds after that. I think they tried to mention this in the user manual but it lost something in the translation. Under the English notice section it says something to the effect that the os is powered from the camera and puts the stabilizer in a known position regardless of os switch position and the active status will take approximately one minute from turning the camera on or half pressing the shutter button. That's not the exact words, I don't have the manual in front of me. It confused me, it sounded like they were saying it would take one minute to get ready, but I think they meant it would stay active for one minute. And it appears it keeps the camera fully awake. Anyway, it sounds like mine does the same as yours. I'm sure this runs the battery down faster, even with just keeping the meter on longer. Nice lens though, very sharp. [/QUOTE]
