Hi!
Axially - in fact, on closer inspection, there is slight but
noticeable play that allows the entire ring to be pulled backwards
towards the camera.
Regarding the axial movement, movement is most noticeable when the
ring is moved backwards & forwards (to and from the lens cap) when
grasped from underneath (180 degress from the distance scale)
This could all be quite normal, of course, but since the rest of the
lens appears built to very fine tolerances I suspect a problem
I am not sure you'll like it or not, Dave, but I have 43 Ltd bought from
a fellow PDMLer that is very tight in all respects including aperture ring.

I"ve had similar complaints about various lenses, but my repairman always
fixed it by tightening a few screws.
Apparently that sort of malady is easily remedied...
I hope that's all it is.
