I was looking at a new Canon 50 mm 1.4 lens at the shop on Friday.
When I tried it on my XTi, it was very tight fitting while rotating to lock in place. Will this loosen up in time?
My other lenses slide and rotate on just fine.
Thanks.

Yes but to go there one should probably be somewhere other than a camera forum.  :p

My 50mm 1.4 was VERY firm when attaching it to the camera - got looser with more use ;)
