Does anyone have a 70-200 that has a little play in it? Mine feels like it has a 1mm lopsided to it, and causes a slight play.
Anyone else?

More info | May 05, 2009 13:21 | #7 In my case, the collar in front of the focus ring was loose. It didn't affect the outer element. However, I was afraid that it would continue to loosen and fall off at some inopportune moment, probably over a body of water if Murphy's Law holds true. I pried up the edge of the rubber on the focus ring to see if the screws holding the collar were under it. They were accessible through a hole, which you can rotate to position over the three screws. I tightened them and all was well with the world. Joe
