Canon 35/2 barrel wobble normal?

[Bill58]

I don't know when the last time it was that I used my 35/2, but today I took it out for a little street shooting and noticed A lot of barrel wobble up/ down and side-to-side (maybe 1/8"). Is that normal or does something need tightening up? Advice appreciated.

Thanks,

Bill

Bill,

Not normal. Definitely need to tighten up. Should be a simple DIY with a lens wrench.

Thanks--I thought so, but I don't have a wrench. I'll take it to the repair guy next week for a quick fix.

I've had one or two that suffered the same- quick tighten is all the old lens needed.

Yeah--I took it to a shop yesterday and they'll fix it for about $28.

Thanks,
