I have an RF 24-70, which I purchased new. When I turn the zoom ring, there is maybe apprx. one mm play when changing zoom direction. This means that I can move the zoom ring clockwise/counter-clockwise one mm without the lens zooming at all.
Anyone else with this lens that can test if they have the same play in the lens? I did some Googling and it might seem that some others are experiencing the same - but I do not know if this is a general issue - or that I should get it serviced.
My 15-35 and 70-200 have no play at all - if I move the zoom ring - it immediately zooms without any play at all.
I just tried my RF24-70L and compared it to my RF15-35 and RF70-200. I think there might be the tiniest bit of "slop" when changing direction with the RF24-70 compared to the other two lenses. By slop, I mean after zooming, I can find I can wiggle the zoom ring slightly after zooming. I'm not sure the slop is even 1mm on the zoom ring.
I have not noticed it before being "sensitized" to the issue with your post. I went back and tried the 15-35 and 70-200 and did not feel even the tiny slop on those lenses. As a data point, my RF24-70 acts slightly differently when changing directions.
