Tamron 28-75 RXD (G1) rattling

[vartik]

Hey guys, I have bought a used Tamron 28-75 RXD (G1) lens and when I shake it, there is some rattling inside. I have Tarmon 28-200 as well and there's no rattling when I shake this one. Can you please give a gentle shake to your 28-75 and let me know what you find out ? Thank you in advance

My son just bought a new Sony wide angle and it rattles off the camera but does not once mounted and powered up.

I have the G1 version that I bought used with only 1 month after being unboxed. Holding the lens vertically (lens pointed down) there is the slightest noise when shaken vigorously up and down yet zero if shaken laterally.

The noise is really faint. Actually quieter than all the other Taproom lenses I have, the noises being the zoom 35-150. Even the Sony 50mm G f2.5 makes more noise when shaken than the G1 28-75!
