Is my EF 24-105 lens in need of repair?

Hello,

Long-time lurker posting here for the first time. I bought a Canon EF 24-105 L IS (version 1) lens from a very nice seller in Japan. The lens is in excellent cosmetic condition and photos appear to be on-par with other copies of the lens I have owned or used. What is troubling me is the amount of "wobble" in the lens barrel in the 24mm and 105mm positions. My previous copy of the lens did not have this as far as I can remember. It is hard to capture on camera, but here is a video:

Would you return the lens and try to find a better copy or is this nothing to worry about? Ive searched through the forums and found other owners with similar issues, but i don't know the degree to which their wobble compares to mine!

Thanks for your help!
