I took a trip to Keeble and Shugart in Palo Alto, CA. today. When I put the 70-200L on my camera is seemed to be loose on the mount. I could giggle it ever so slightly. I have had no lens that does this. 5D | 17-40L | Tammy 28-75 2.8 | 28-135 | 50/1.8 | 85/1.8 | Sony A6000 2-Lens Kit | SEL35 1.8 | EF 50 1.8 on NEX as my 75mm 1.8
