all my cameras have it, even worse is heavy lens hanging off my 1dx it will rock up and down ,My a99 with a Zeiss 24-70 is so tight that when zooming it moves at the mount very annoying but no affect on picture quality.

The Samsung 50-150, I'm trying out now, also has a tight zoom ring and does the same thing as your A99 by rotating slightly until the 'click-stop' stops it.  Annoying, but the lens has shown really good IQ.  With the 300/4 L on the 7DII after being clicked into place one would require a pipe wrench to move the lens on it seems.  I mean it's solid.  But I bet there is some variation between copies out there.
