Since you haven't done anything about this 'play' in the lenses I assume that
they are functioning fine and you consider them normal. What I want to avoid
is sending in a lens for repair (still on warranty) that doesn't need it.
Besides the wasted time if you send something in to be fixed that doesn't
really need it I am always concerned that it may come back not that right
since it had to be opened and toyed with. I suspect that they would not
replace it with a new one since it seems to be functioning OK. I do wonder
about differences in production lines since on the usenet group I had
questioned, some folks seemed to think it was OK and some had the same lens
with no 'play'.
At any rate, I sent in a question about it to tech support from the Canon USA
website. I will let this group know how they answer the question.
