I just got a brand new D7200, a 10-20mm, and the aforementioned 35mm. However, I just noticed that the 35 is very weird about how it autofocuses. It doesn't have issues making small focus adjustments, but when I want to go from my hand, to say, a building across the street, it starts behaving weirdly; it will focus near my hand, and then make very loud micro-adjustments that don't stop until I release the focus button, and press it again. And this isn't due to low light, since my 10-20mm has no issues, and it's minimum aperture is 4.5. Anyone know what's going on?

are you using AFC?   My 80-400 will make all kinds of noises when using the AFC with the shutter half down.
