I was wondering if the 35mm would have been a better option :? or should I own both? I noticed 52mm gives better depth but 35mm is good for close ups. I just bought a 52 mm prime for my d5000.

The focusing on mine does have an audible "whirring", but definetely not "clicking". It might appear to sound clicky if you've got AF-C on and it is hunting for a lock. I've got the 18-200mm VR and had the 18-70mm before it and I haven't heard much difference between them. Compared to the 50mm they are much quieter. I always hated when the 50mm slams into infinity with a loud clunk as it hunts for focus. So yeah it isn't silent, but from a couple feet away nobody else would even hear it. Charles,

What's bothering me is the "scratchy" "clicky" noise during focusing. I've found one site that mentioned the same thing, and a short discussion on flickr about whether it's scratchy or completely silent. I also own the 50mm f/1.8 and I know this far more quiet compare to that lens, but I'd not call is silent. I wonder if you can share with us your impression of the noise you hear. Thanks.
