Re: Wobbly focus ring on Canon EF 35mm 1.4 L USM

Hello,

I've recently purchased the EF 35mm 1.4L USM II lens as well and also discovered a slightly wobbly focus ring. The focus can be moved about 1mm in axial direction and as it touches the edges of the fixed part of the lens it does some sound.

Is this normal for such a price class? I own the 135mm F2L and 300mm F4L USM lens as well and don't have such "annoyance".

Since the lens is working properly I don't have a need to exchange it against a new one, which hopefully would not have this problem.

Can anybody confirm the upper mentioned behaviour of the lens?
