Does the 90mm Elmar C have particularly "clicky" apertures and looser ring?

Just got a 90m Elmar C in bargain condition from KEH. It looks really nice and way above Bargain as most KEH products do. One issue I noticed is that the aperture stops are kind of loud and "clicky" and there is a little more play in the aperture ring than seems normal (compared to my also well used 35mm and 50mm Summicrons both bought used in bargain condition).

Wondering if this is normal for this lens and if I should just not worry and use the thing, send it back or have it repaired.

Amazed at the size. Not much bigger than a 50 and absolutely tiny in comparison to my 135 that it is going to substitute for for travel.

Mine is a bit "clicky"but not loose.

The one I had was definitely "clicky" and kinda loose. Wasn't a problem--it was a fine lens.

Funny...I sold it to KEH. But that was years ago. Couldn't be...could it?

Nah.
