The official answer from Olympus is :”It is normale and all 100-400 have this game/play”.

I decided to leave the lens in the store because i can’t use a lens with click and game every time i zoom from 100 to 300-400mm.

So you won't buy the panny 100-400mm either. Both lens have the same slight movement. It's never affected function or weather proofing in seceral years of use!

I have the Panasonic and mine does not have the movement shown in the video, It's a very tiny amount of play.
