The 65-116 has lots of ball bearings in the races. Noise is normal, though
the squeaking may not be.

Subject: [OM] Question on 65-116
> Hi all -
>
> My eBay 65-116 tube just arrived. It seems to work fine, but:
> - The aperture position lever (the one driven by your hand)
> squeaks as I go from smaller to larger apertures. Then again,
> my 25mm auto tube does too...
> - It makes an odd sound if tilted or lightly shaken - sort of
> like small springs or bearings moving around. This noise
> almost stops if both levers are moved to their most compressed
> positions.
>
> Any comments from 65-116 owners or John Hermanson would be most
> appreciated.
>
> Regards,
> Andrew
