At first I thought it was all internet paranoia, a little play in the lens, no big deal.
I went to try out some RFs at my local store. Lucky me, they had the silver 28 ZM shining on a shelf. Put it on the R4 they had there. It's magic!
Whoever says that this lens is big, should look for some p&s, seriously. I mean, it will not fit your jeans pocket, but otherwise it's perfectly fine. I bet it balances the camera too, so it doesn't lean back.
Anyway, I focus it and damn! There is a very annoying play in the focus ring, feels like the lens is not properly mounted. Not cool.
I had a CV 35/1.4 and the quality was very good. Bought it new and no problem for a year or so until I lost it :bang: The aperture ring was a moving a little if I "pulled" the "ears" back and forth. However, you are not supposed to do that. No play in other CVs I tried also.
So spending big dollar on a new ZM that comes with focus play, what's up with that?
