I bought a s5ii with the 24-60 f3.5-5.6 and 50mm f1.8. I do not use the 50mm that much, but decided to today. After a while, maybe it’s just me, but I could notice a sound when I changed the aperture in camera. It’s a slightly high pitched “click” sound that corresponds to the lens opening and closing.

It also occurs when I autofocus and yes that is also because of the lens opening to let more light in to focus on a darker area (when the red light turns on).

Since the 3.5-5.6 aperture opening inside the lens is smaller in size, It does produce a very very faint click when the dial is rotated on the camera to set the aperture. I’m assuming because the ring is bigger in the 50 mm, it does product a louder sound.

Should I be concerned? Please help me out.

PS - My camera has no issue in terms of detecting the lens and the lens functioning. Works fine, was just concerned.

Basically, I come from a place where design degrees aren’t valued. My colleges isn’t taking any effort to teach us anything.

I have another 3 years to go, and would like to start preparing quite seriously, after having had all the fun I wanted to have so far, and understanding that the college isn’t going to provide me with anything.

I need a roadmap to start preparing by myself.

I am into industrial design (consumer electronics and furniture). I want to learn the following -** **

1. The process or steps that I have to undertake to make a product. Basically if I am given a task, the methodology an ID design undertakes to arrive at the solution.

2. Materials. How I can make use of wood, metal, etc. to produce real working prototypes of my product.

3. Additional Resources. For example a car designer knows a lot about aerodynamic forms. In a similar way, methods of assessing a product - where to place holes, where to keep the wall thickness high, etc. This might also include how one can approach manufacturers to make their products manufacturable, and changing the dimensions of the product according to the constraints they provide.

4. How one can grow their network, and how one should present their work in a portfolio - from what to include to how to present it(context, renders, etc.).

5. How to stand out, and how I can look for opportunities whilst studying, so that I can intern
   remotely for companies situated overseas, or in my country (which doesn’t real respect designers like I mentioned, and doesn’t understand that the field has a structure approach to it.)

The insights y’all provide would be of great help 🙏!

Thank you.

I have an AIR rank under the 200s in UCEED, and finished my first year of college elsewhere. However, CEPT is offering direct admission into the second year for B.Des. I just wanted honest reviews on the college and the B.Des curriculum. Tell me everything from labs, faculty, internships, seniors and alumni, industrial connections, network, and workload.
