Some time ago there has been reports on the Samsung 50-150/2.8 loose lens mount. Has this problem been resolved? Getting ready to order the lens but don't want any surprises.

Only my 50-150 has enough play (& is a heavy enough lens) to bring me right out of the moment and think "did that lens just rotate?".  The weather gasket at the rear of the 16-50 S causes enough drag to keep that lens in the "comfort zone" and I don't notice anything there.  Consequently, 16-50 is the lens that almost never leaves the camera.
