Two of my lenses have a problem...

My 24-105 had a slight wobble from new (when mounted to the camera, everything in front of the "Image Stabilized" logo moves slightly - the left hand side of the lens doesnt seem to be held together very well), and it's got worse since then. Now I have to be quite careful with it - I'm afraid of breaking it! It also gives some vignetting if I take a photo with the lens pulled sideways slightly.

There is a similar wobble on my 70-300 DO but nowhere near as bad (not noticeable unless you're looking carefully).

What can I do to fix it / is it serious?!


Current: 5d III | 1Ds3 | 5d II gripped | 40d | 17-40L | 24-105L | 50mm f/1.4 | 100 f/2 | 70-200L f/2.8 | 430EX |
Previously: 10d, 40d, 5d2, 14mm Tamron f/2.8, 16-35L, 100 Macro

I don't own either of them , But my 36-350 L has a ring that tightens / locks lens when It is where I want it . Yours may have also .

I own both and I don't have any wobble. None what so ever.

Some people have all the fun.
