The only thing I have noticed and I should have checked this before when purchased with it being second hand lens, when I shake it I here a very subtle rattle and I wouldn't say it was a loud oh no something is really loose in there moving about.
You can test the lens in all shoot modes at any settings to see if there any damage to the optical or mechanical parts that can affect th image
I wondered if its normal for this lens due to its construction and features. Not having the same lens to test, does anyone have the lens and could confirm for me to put my mind at rest? It almost sounds like its the plus and minus zoom buttons that rattle slightly but not sure.
The buttons itself can do some rattle yes, you can slightly push them and shake a little to see if the noise is still appears. But if it's not - also there is some other parts inside that can move and make sounds. As for the optical elements - if none of outside glasses isn't damaged - shifted or scratched, and they both set straight and sturdy - so optical system is fine, nothing to worry here
