15mm Rattler !

[Glenn2]

Have just noticed that my 15mm lens has a bit of a rattle if shaken. Is this normal for these critters? Images are fine so don't think it's a loose element. Just wanted to catch things early if somethings coming apart. Many years ago had an SLR lens jam because a screw had vibarated loose inside. Wouldn't want a repeat with one of my favorite lenses while far from home.

Glenn,
mine doesn't rattle. I did have the back off today which is just 4 cross screws on the screw mount. remove mount noting a small dot on mount which lines up with dot on aperture scale. remove the shim and there are 4 screws under there, maybe its one of those? other than that i would send it off for a check up!

Pesky diamond backs...

Lens rings do come undone I've had a J8 (FSU 5cm) and a Elmarit 28mm (leitz) loosen up. I'd ship it or take it to repair shop.

Get it repaired. The steps above are easy. Beyond that, you need pro help.

Thanks guys, just wanted to confirm that this was abnormal for a 15mm.
