Re: Canon 15-85mm lens sounds loose inside

Just checked my 15-85, it rattles a bit too. Seems like it's the zoom tubes floating about in side the body when set to 15, improves out to 85. Mine's been fairly heavily used since 2011, suffers from creep when it's over your shoulder and the ring that holds the front element in is fond of becoming loose. The AF sticks when you switch the camera on so into MF twiddle the ring and switch to AF and all's well. If you forget, the AF makes some noise but doesn't focus (lost some shots in the heat of the moment over that). Probably due a well-deserved service...
