Send it back. You must have gotten a bad one. Mine is as tight as my A

that have similar extended length.
There is nothing wrong with it that would be remedied at a repair shop,
it's
sloppy by design. At the 16mm the end of the barrel moves at least 2mm
laterally. The 24-90 was sloppy too, I've never been a fan of zooms or AF
lenses, the VS1 lens I had was about the best I've used mechanically
pity it
flared like crazy.
Agreed. The 24-90 is so sloppy you think it's going to come apart.
However, the pictures are as sharp as you could wish. To restore your
faith in AF zooms (the MF one were generally fine), buy an SMCP-DA 12-24.
It only moves about 3mm when zooming, and is as tight as Scotch parson.
